Predicting Server Power Consumption from Standard Rating Results
Jóakim von Kistowski, Johannes Grohmann, Norbert Schmitt, Samuel Kounev · 2019
Data center providers and server operators try to reduce the power consumption of their servers. Finding an energy efficient server for a specific target application is a first step in this regard. Estimating the power consumption of an application on an unavailable server is difficult, as nameplate power values are generally overestimations. Offline power models are able to predict the consumption accurately, but are usually intended for system design, requiring very specific and detailed knowledge about the system under consideration.
