A system for managing computing nodes and cooling devices cooling the computing nodes in an infrastructure includes one or more managers. The one or more managers receive a service request for a workload to be run on one or more of the computing …
This dissertation considers data centers as CPSs, with a focus on run-time management and operating costs. The proposed modeling framework explicitly captures the cyber- physical nature of data centers and allows the development of models that …
This paper presents data centers from a _cyber-physical system_ (CPS) perspective. Current methods for controlling information technology (IT) and cooling technology (CT) in data centers are classified according to the degree to which they take into …
This chapter discusses the challenges and the possibilities offered by controlling a data center as a node of the _smart-grid_. The communication between the grid and the data center takes the form of a time-varying and power-consumption-dependent …
This paper discusses the challenges and the possibilities offered by controlling a data center as a node of the smart-grid. Communication between the grid and a data center takes the form of a time-varying and power-consumption-dependent electricity …
This paper concerns the management of energy in data centers using a cyber-physical model that supports the coordinated control of both computational and thermal (cooling) resources. On the basis of the structure of the proposed model and practical …
