Abstract

As the increasing IT energy consumption emerged as a prominent issue, computer system energy consumption monitoring and optimization has gradually become a significant research forefront. However, most existing energy monitoring methods are limited to hardware-based measurement or coarse-grained energy consumption estimation. They cannot provide fine-grained energy consumption data (i.e., component energy consumption) and high-scalability for distributed cloud environments. In this article, the authors first study widely-used power models of CPUs, memory and hard disks. Then, following an investigation into disk power behaviors in sequential I/O and random I/O, they propose an improved I/O-mode aware disk power model with multiple variables and thresholds. They developed EnergyMeter, a monitoring software utility that can provide accurate power estimate by exploiting a multi-component power model. Experiments based on PCMark prove that the average error of EnergyMeter is merely 5% under a variety of workloads
