演讲简介
More and more applications, e.g., e-commerce and social networking, run in cloud data centers (e.g., Amazon and Google). Minimizing the consumption of electric power and thus energy cost while maintaining their user-desired performance has now become an increasingly important focus of attention. The consumption of power boosts data centers’ cost. Brown energy consumption negatively impacts our environment. Requirements from environmental protection demand the reduced use of brown energy, especially that from coal. Hence, most large cloud data centers prefer renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy. Can we exploit the characteristics of the geographical distribution in real-life environment to schedule tasks intelligently? This talk answers it by focusing on intelligent optimization methods. It introduces emerging progress made in this field and emerging challenges on how to realize various cost-effective task scheduling methods for cloud data centers, including: 1) traditional methods for task scheduling and dynamic resource allocation; 2) existing task prediction and machine learning-based prediction methods; 3) spatial task scheduling and resource provisioning for cost minimization for cloud data center providers; 4) temporal-spatial task scheduling for profit maximization in hybrid cloud computing systems; and 5) open research problems, directions and outlooks for future studies.
