A joint energy efficiency optimization scheme based on marginal cost and workload prediction in data centers

With the widespread development of cloud computing, the dramatic increase in the number and size of data centers (DCs) has resulted in substantial energy consumption and serious environmental problems. This creates a challenge for the further development of DCs. It is imperative to improve the overall energy efficiency of DCs. According to the statistics, servers and cooling systems are the main energy-consuming components of DCs. Recently,...
