Mutual Influence of Application- and Platform-Level Adaptations on Energy-Efficient Computing

We experimentally investigate the mutual influence of application- and platform-level adaptations in a virtualized cluster environment. At the application level, applications can adapt to a changing execution environment by dynamically exchanging components that enable them to trade energy for utility and vice versa. Likewise, at the platform level, virtual machine monitors can migrate virtual machines from one server to another either to consolidate workloads and switch-off underutilized servers or to distribute the workload of overloaded servers. Our experiment quantify impacts of various types of adaptations on QoS, power consumption, and energy-overhead.
