Thermal awareness to enhance data center energy efficiency

Eco Computing: Improving Data Center Energy Efficiency

Modeling Data Center Building Blocks for Energy-Efficiency and Thermal Simulations

In this paper we present a concept and specification of Data Center Efficiency Building Blocks (DEBBs), which represent hardware components of a data center complemented by descriptions of their energy efficiency. Proposed building blocks contain hardware and thermodynamic models that can be applied to simulate a data center and to evaluate its energy efficiency. DEBBs are available in an open ...

Optical Data Center Networks: Architecture, Performance, and Energy Efficiency

In a data center, servers communicate with each other to store and handle a large amount of data. Thus, the network within a data center affects the performance of the data center; the lack of bandwidth between servers increases the time to obtain the required data from the other servers. The energy consumption is also one of the important problems in a data center. The energy consumed by the d...

Models and Control Strategies for Data Center Energy Efficiency

As the foundation of the nation’s information infrastructure, data centers have been growing rapidly in both number and capacity to meet the increasing demands for highlyresponsive computing and massive storage. Data center energy consumption doubled from 2000 to 2006, reaching a value of 60 TWh/year (Tera Watt hour / year). Coupled with increasing power and cooling demands imposed by the Moore...

Framework Construction of Energy Efficiency System of Data Center

Currently, it is widely concerned that the energy consumption has become a serious bottleneck in the development of data center. For those data centers hosting different applications, dynamic server provisioning techniques are effectiveness in turning off unnecessary to save energy. In this paper, the data center's energy efficiency is focused on the research with a framework named EADC which h...
