Evaluating the Energy Consumption of InfiniBand Switch Based on Time Series

Recently, energy consumption has emerged as a critical factor in designing storage system. In order to test the energy consumption of InfiniBand switch (IB switch), we establish an energy consumption model for IB switch and formulate the test cases. Using the method, you can obtain the energy consumption of the IB switch scientifically and efficiently. Empirical results illustrate the correctness of the energy consumption and reflect the distribution laws of the energy consumption of the IB switch clearly. The scheme can solve the problem of testing and analyzing the energy consumption of the IB switch efficiently. It has positive practice significance to reduce the cost of storage system.
