      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      Interest in powering datacenters at least partially using on-site renewable sources, e.g. solar or wind, has been growing. In fact, researchers have studied distributed services comprising networks of such “green” datacenters, ...
    • Energy optimization and analysis with EAR 

      Corbalán González, Julita; Alonso Jane, Lluís; Aneas Gómez, Jordi; Brochard, Luigi (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      EAR is an energy management framework which offers three main services: energy accounting, energy control, and energy optimization. The latter is done through the EAR runtime library (EARL). EARL is a dynamic, transparent, ...

    • PaaS-IaaS inter-layer adaptation in an energy-aware cloud environment 

      Djemame, Karim; Bosch, Raimon; Kavanagh, Richard; Alvarez, Pol; Ejarque, Jorge; Guitart Fernández, Jordi; Blasi, Lorenzo (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-06)
      Article
      Open Access
      Cloud computing providers resort to a variety of techniques to improve energy consumption at each level of the cloud computing stack. Most of these techniques consider resource-level energy optimization at IaaS layer. This ...
    • ParaDIME: Parallel distributed infrastructure for minimization of energy for data centers 

      Rethinagiri, Santhosh Kumar; Palomar Pérez, Óscar; Sobe, Anita; Yalcin, Gulay; Knauth, Thomas; Titos Gil, Rubén; Prieto, Pablo; Schneegaß, Malte; Cristal Kestelman, Adrián; Unsal, Osman Sabri; Felber, Pascal; Fetzer, Christof; Milojevic, Dragomir (2015-11-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Dramatic environmental and economic impact of the ever increasing power and energy consumption of modern computing devices in data centers is now a critical challenge. On the one hand, designers use technology scaling as ...
    • Per-task energy accounting in computing systems 

      Liu, Qixiao; Jiménez, Víctor; Moretó Planas, Miquel; Abella Ferrer, Jaume; Cazorla, Francisco; Valero Cortés, Mateo (2013)
      Research report
      Open Access
      We present for the first time the concept of per-task energy accounting (PTEA) and relate it to per-task energy metering (PTEM). We show the benefits of supporting both in future computing systems. Using the shared last-level ...
    • Protected elastic-tree topologies for data centers
