Energy Consumption at the DC Power consumption breakdown • The major contributors to electricity costs are: – Cooling (around 50%) – Servers (around 30-‐40%) • The most common metric to measure efficiency in Data Centers is PUE (Power Usage Effec?veness)
Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) • Average PUE ≈ 2 • State of the Art: PUE ≈ 1,2 – The important part is IT energy consump?on – Current work in energy efficient data centers is focused in decreasing PUE – Decreasing PIT does not decrease PUE, but it has in impact on the electricity bill !"# = 1 !"#$ = !!"!#$ !!" =! ! !!!!!!!!!!= !!"#$% + !!""#$%& + !!"# !!"#$% ≈ !!""#$%& + !!" !!" !

Resource Management at the Server level Leakage-temperature tradeoffs - Cooling • Exploring the leakage-‐temperature tradeoffs at the server level – At higher temperatures, CPU increases power consump?on due to leakage – To decrease CPU temperature, fan speed raises, increasing server cooling consump?on.

K. 2004. Energy-‐op?mizing source code transforma?ons for OS-‐driven embedded sovware. In Proceedings of the Interna?onal Conference VLSI Design. 261–266. – Up to 37,9% (mean 23,8%) energy savings in mul?process applica?ons running on Linux
Global Management of Low-power modes (DVFS) • DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling) is based upon: – As suppy voltage decreases, power decreases quadra?cally – But delay increases (performance decreases) only linearly – The maximum frequency also decreases linearly • Currently, low-‐power modes, if used, are ac?vated by inac?vity of the server opera?ng system • To minimize energy consump?on, changes between modes should be minimized • On the other hand, workload knowledge allows to globally schedule low-‐power modes without any impact in performance
Global Management of Low-power modes (DVFS) • By using a thermal model, we can predict the behaviour of a workload under each power mode • We can use resource management algorithms to change DVFS on run?me, adap?ng to our workload.
Potential energy savings with floorplanning – Up to 21oC reduc?on of maximum temperature – Mean: -‐12oC in maximum temperature – Bejer results in the most cri?cal examples Y. Han, I. Koren, and C. A. Moritz. Temperature Aware Floorplanning. In Proc. of the Second Workshop on Temperature-‐Aware Computer Systems, June 2005
Temperature-aware floorplanning in 3D chips • 3D chips are gewng interest due to: – ↑ ↑ Scalability: reduces 2D equivalent area – ↑ ↑ Performance: shorter wire length – ↑ Reliability: less wiring • Drawback: – Huge increment of hotspots compared with 2D equivalent designs
Outline • Why Data Centers (DC) in this Workshop? • The DC in next-‐genera?on applica?ons • Energy consump?on at the Data Center • Insight on op?miza?on strategies • Conclusions
There is still much more to be done • Smart Grids – Consume energy when everybody else does not – Decrease energy consump?on when everybody else is consuming • Reducing the electricity bill – Variable electricity rates – Reac?ve power coefficient – Peak energy demand
Conclusions • Reducing PUE is not the same than reducing energy consump?on – IT energy consump?on dominates in state-‐of-‐the-‐art data centers • Applica?on and resources knowledge can be effec?vely used to define proacNve policies to reduce the total energy consump?on – At different levels – In different scopes – Taking into account cooling and computa?on at the same ?me • Proper management of the knowledge of the data center thermal behavior can reduce reliability issues • Reducing energy consump?on is not the same than reducing the electricity bill
