Cutting the Electricity Cost of Distributed Datacenters Through Smart Workload Dispatching
Zehua Guo, Zhemin Duan, Yang Xu, H. Jonathan Chao · IEEE Communications Letters · 2013
This letter proposes a smart inter- and intra-datacenter workload dispatching scheme, Joint Electricity price-aware and Cooling efficiency-aware load balancing (JEC), to cut the electricity cost of distributed datacenters. Evaluation shows JEC outperforms existing schemes and achieves significant reduction on the total electricity cost of distributed datacenters.
