Abstract :
The rapid growth of data volume brings big challenges to the data center computing, and energy efficiency is one of the most concerned problems. Researchers from various fields are now proposing solutions to green the data center operations. Power usage effectiveness metric plays an important role in the energy saving research. However, the exising usage effectiveness metrics focus on measuring the relationship between the total facility energy consumed and the IT equipment energy consumed, without reflecting the energy efficiency of applications. In this paper, we analyze the requirements of application-level metrics for power usage efficiency of the data centers, and propose two novel energy efficiency metrics to provide strong guidance and useful insight to data center design and optimization.
