“…In addition, the study conducted by [43] investigated the effects of virtualization on the performance of a single server's consumption when executing specific packages and apps. This study lacks presenting a mathematical model-based framework for evaluating the components or system level consumption, comparable to the approach taken in previous works in [44] and [45].. One notable constraint observed in the majority of PC models discussed in the literature pertains to their specificity in terms of case selection, data type, and network configuration. Furthermore, the provided models are developed using exclusive intelligent software that is comprehensive and tailored to specific platforms, making it often inaccessible on an on-demand basis.…”

The open radio access network (ORAN) aims to improve network efficiency by reducing latency through the distributed unit (DU) and virtualization in the central unit (CU). However, the deployment of additional DU servers increases power usage and competition among virtual machines for user data processing. This study proposes a novel approach to address these challenges by incorporating load balancing strategies and quantum physics concepts, particularly entanglement theory in classical communication systems. The methodology enables the production of quantum information units from a single classical information unit, aiming to conserve energy. A simplified yet effective power consumption (PC) model for the ORAN architecture captures traffic fluctuations and provides a comprehensive characterization of power usage within a virtualized system. An optimization problem is formulated to select ORAN servers for quantum load balancing that are less energy-efficient, maximizing user benefits. The Lagrange multiplier method is used to deal with nonlinear objective functions. The presented problem is addressed through the use of two numerical methods, namely sequential quadratic programming (SQP) and the active-set approach. It is shown that the SQP model exhibits superior energy efficiency compared to the active-set model, with a difference of approximately 45%.

“…In [5], the virtualisation effect upon the PC of a single server while running certain packages and applications is experimentally tested. This work however contemplate in association to a single server case study without providing a mathematical model based platform to measure the PC for components or system level, similarly in [12] and [13]. In [14], the work has provided a comprehensive survey for the available PC models including virtualised, non virtualised servers or data centers.…”

In large-scale computing centres, the advancement of knowledge in regards to the predicted power consumption (PC) and concerns of host servers that run virtual machines (VMs) could improve the capacity planning and networks' Energy Efficiency (EE). In this paper, a parameterised power model is proposed to explore the individual components within the virtualisation based cloud-radio access network (vC-RAN). The model evaluates the PC and trade-offs of a server undergoing virtualisation. After, cooling and total PC for C-RAN architecture with and without virtualisation have been compared using differentiated parameters, such as varying number of bare-metal base band units (BBUs), VMs and system's resource blocks (RBs) share/bandwidth. The results show dramatic decrease in the total PC via virtualising the core network (CN). In addition, the degraded performance of each virtualised server is demonstrated via modelling the execution time and overhead costs. These costs have been resulted from increasing the number of hosted VMs and utilised RBs by each VM.

“…Additionally, energy consumption measurements are an issue in the current research area. Here, for example, approaches of measuring the energy consumption of databases [9], virtual machines [25], and mobile applications [40] exist. Another issue in energy efficient software development is the programming style and its relation to the resulting energy consumption (e.g.…”

The awareness for software as an important player regarding the energy consumption caused by ICT steadily increased in the past years. The impact of software on the energy consumption is also more and more accepted by the research community under the umbrella of sustainability in general. Nevertheless, the end user is still only slightly or not addressed in the research activities regarding the whole energy consumption of software over its complete lifecycle. Also other stakeholders, e.g. administrators, designers, developers etc., are not in the focus of creating awareness for the aforementioned topics. In this contribution, we therefore focus on ideas, approaches, and challenges in developing a general-purpose labelling process for green and sustainable software products and websites. At first we provide a literature roundup, followed by the elaboration of requirements for the creation of a sustainability label for software products in general based on already existing and new approaches. On a first attempt, we furthermore concentrate on a labelling process for sustainable as well as green websites and sum up with a discussion followed by an outlook on our future work.
