Energy-Efficiency Support Services on the CAISE Platform

Abstract

The article presents a package of services supporting energy efficiency within the CAISE platform environment, aimed at monitoring, managing, and optimizing energy consumption in cloud computing environments. The monitoring services include Computation Energy Consumption Monitoring (MEO) and Computation Intensity Monitoring (MIO), which enable real-time tracking of energy usage parameters and resource load. The management and administrative layer is formed by System Energy Configuration (KES) and Optimization Parameter Logging (RPO), which allow the definition of energy policies and the collection of data relevant for subsequent analysis and system tuning. A key component of the package is the Performance–Energy Optimization (OWE) service, which supports the selection of configurations and execution methods for computational tasks in order to achieve a balance between performance and energy efficiency. The paper discusses the functional assumptions, supported hardware–software configurations, and implementation aspects of these services. It also outlines the requirements and challenges related to their practical deployment, potential application perspectives and use cases in large-scale computing environments, as well as selected practical results for OWE.
