Abstract

It is critical to reduce the energy consumption of clusters of servers. Through virtual machines, applications can take advantage of virtual services independent of heterogeneity and locations of servers. Here, we have to select a host server and a virtual machine on the server to perform an application process so that the total energy consumption of servers can be reduced. We first improve the MI (Monotonically Increasing) algorithm previously proposed to simply estimate the energy consumption of servers only by using the number of active processes. Then, we propose an MIM (MI Migration) algorithm to reduce the energy consumption of servers by using the improved MI algorithm. Here, a virtual machine on a host server migrates to a guest server to reduce the total energy consumption of the servers. In the evaluation, we show the execution time and energy consumption of servers in a cluster can be reduced in the MIM algorithm compared with other algorithms.
