Abstract
It is critical to reduce electric energy consumption of information systems, especially servers in clusters to reduce carbon dioxide emission. First, a client issues an application process to a cluster and one server is selected to perform the process, where the energy consumption is smallest in the cluster. In addition, we take a migration approach that application processes on a server migrate to a guest server by using the live migration technologies of virtual machines. By migration of a virtual machine from a host server to a guest server, the energy consumption of the servers to perform application processes on the virtual machine can be reduced as discussed in our previous studies. On the other hand, it takes time for a virtual machine to migrate from a host server to a guest server. In this paper, we first measure time for a virtual machine to migrate from a host server to a guest server. Then, we propose an EVMG (Energy-efficient Virtual machine MiGration) algorithm to reduce the total energy consumption of servers in a cluster by making a virtual machine migrate to a more energy-efficient sever. In the evaluation, we show the energy consumption of servers can be reduced in the EVMG algorithm proposed in this paper.
