DCworms - A Tool for Simulation of Energy Efficiency in Data Centers

摘要

The focus of this paper is a Data Center Workload and Resource Management Simulator (DCworms) which enables modeling and simulation of data centers to estimate their performance, energy consumption, and energy-efficiency metrics for diverse workloads and management policies. We present its functionality in terms of energy-efficiency modeling and methods of power usage estimations available in the simulator. Moreover, we show an application of DCworms within the CoolEmAll project that addresses the important problem of data center energy efficiency.
