Thermal-aware Workload Distribution for Data Centers with Demand Variations
Thermal-aware workload distribution is a common approach in the literature for power consumption optimization in data centers. However, data centers also have other operational costs such as the cost of equipment maintenance and replacement. It has been shown that server reliability depends on frequency of their temperature variations, arising from workload transitions due to dynamic demands. In this work, we formulate a nonlinear optimization problem that considers the cost of workload transitions in addition to IT and cooling power consumption. To approximate the solution, we first linearize the problem; the result is a mixed integer programming problem. A modified heuristic is then proposed to approximate the solution of the linear problem. Finally, a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach is integrated with the proposed heuristics for automatic workload reconfiguration when future demand is not known exactly, but predictions are available. Numerical results show that the proposed schemes are attractive in different settings.
