Toward Sustainable Cloud-edge Infrastructures through Data-driven Power Management

ABSTRACT

Cloud and edge infrastructures, particularly data centers and base stations, are the essential facilities that support cloud/edge computing and are crucial in providing cloud/edge services in the digital transformation era. However, their ultra-high power consumption and carbon emissions have caused global concerns and significant financial burdens to operators. In this talk, the speaker will provide unique data-driven solutions that address power management challenges in energy/carbon-intensive cloud-edge facilities, including fine-grained power measurement, cost-efficient power scheduling, and elastic power configuration. This talk will also discuss new attempts to develop next-generation sustainable cloud-edge infrastructures.
