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 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 …
This paper concerns the power minimization problem in server farms. The power minimization problem over dynamic power allocation schemes is formally defined and formulated as an optimization problem. It is shown that finding the optimal solution for …
