Abstract
Power consumption is one of the most critical problems in data centers. One effective way to reduce power consumption is to consolidate the hosting workloads and shut down physical machines which become idle after consolidation. Server consolidation is a NP-hard problem. In this paper, a new algorithms Dynamic Round-Robin (DRR), is proposed for energy-aware virtual machine scheduling and consolidation. We compare this strategy with the GREEDY, ROUNDROBIN and POWERSAVE scheduling strategies implemented in the Eucalyptus Cloud system. Our experiment results show that the Dynamic Round-Robin algorithm reduce a significant amount of power consumption compared with the three strategies in Eucalyptus.
