Abstract

In energy-aware systems, it is critical to discuss how to reduce the total electric power consumption of information systems. In this paper, we consider communication type applications where a server transmits a large volume of data to clients. A client first selects a server in a cluster of servers and issues a file transmission request to the server. In our previous studies, the transmission power consumption (TPC) model and the extended TPC (ETPC) model of a server to transmit files to clients are proposed. In this paper, we newly propose the transmission power consumption laxity-based (TPCLB) algorithm for a cluster of servers, which are based on the TPC and ETPC models so that the total power consumption in a cluster of servers can be reduced. We evaluate the TPCLB algorithm in terms of the total power consumption and elapse time compared with the round-robin (RR) algorithm.
