Research: Conserving Energy in Clusters through Resource
Allocation. Minimizing power
dissipation is an important requirement in developing resource management
systems for clusters. In this work, we investigate resource allocation
solutions that conserve energy in clusters while retaining high performance.
Our resource allocation approaches will judiciously allocate resources of a
cluster computing system to satisfy performance needs of parallel
applications and achieve significant energy savings. Read more... Kiranmai

Research: Dynamic Voltage Scaling for Parallel Applications
on Clusters. In this study we design and implement a scheduling
algorithm that makes use of dynamic voltage scaling to effectively reduce
energy consumption of parallel applications running on cluster computing
systems. Adam Manzanares [Ph.D. Student | Awards: 2 | Publications Conference
Papers: 1] Dissertation Research: Energy
Efficient Wireless Storage Systems. This study addresses the
issue of modeling energy-efficient wireless storage systems and wireless
network interconnections. Adam's work on energy conservation for
high-performance clusters appeared in the proceedings of the 8th IEEE International Conference on Cluster
Computing (Cluster'06), Sept. 2006.

Research Project: Energy-Efficient Disk Buffer
Disks. The goal of this research is to develop a novel buffer-disk architecture that will provide significant energy savings while achieving
low-cost and high-performance for parallel disks. In this project we will
take an organized approach to implementing energy-saving techniques for
parallel disks and simulating energy-efficient parallel disk systems. Read more... Tenzin Doleck [Undergraduate Student] Senior
Research Project: Energy-Efficient Storage
Systems. Improving the energy efficiency of storage systems is an
intrinsic requirement of next generation large-scale computing systems,
because a storage subsystem can represent 27% of the energy consumed in a
data center. The goal of this research is to
investigate energy conservation techniques that will provide significant
energy savings while achieving high-performance for storage systems. Updated on 8/2/2007 |
