Abstract

This paper proposes coordinating cooling systems and workload management in data centers to reduce energy consumption. By explicitly modeling the thermal coupling between server workloads and cooling systems, the approach achieves joint optimization that outperforms methods managing these subsystems independently. Results demonstrate significant energy savings across varying workload scenarios.
