dc.description.abstract | Greener cloud computing has recently become an
extremely pertinent research topic in academy and among
practitioners. Despite the abundance of the state of the art
studies that tackle the problem, the vast majority of them
solely rely on simulation, and do not report real settings
experience. Thus, the theoretical models might overlook some
of the practical details that might emerge in real life scenarios.
In this paper, we try to bridge the aforementioned gap in
the literature by devising and also deploying algorithms for
saving power in real-life cloud environments based on variants
of the 2D/3D bin packing algorithms. The algorithms are
tested on a large OpenStack deployment in use by staff and
students at Oslo and Akershus University College, Norway. We
present three different adaptions of 2D and 3D bin packing,
incorporating different aspects of the cloud as constraints.
Our real-life experimental results show that although the
three algorithms yield a decrease in power consumption, they
distinctly affect the way the cloud has to be managed. A simple
bin packing algorithm provides useful mechanism to reduce
power consumption while more sophisticated algorithms do not
merely achieve power savings but also minimize the number
of migrations. | en_US |
