Energy markets with retail choice enable customers to switch energy plans among competitive retail suppliers. Despite the promising benefits of more affordable prices and better savings to customers, there appears subsided participation in…
The energy demands of data centers are increasing and are expected to grow exponentially. Reducing the energy consumption of data centers decreases operational expenses, as well as their carbon footprint. We design techniques to reduce data…
We present a new online algorithm for profit-oriented scheduling on multiple speed-scalable processors. Moreover, we provide a tight analysis of the algorithm's competitiveness. Our results generalize and improve upon work by…
This paper studies a model for online job scheduling in green datacenters. In green datacenters, resource availability depends on the power supply from the renewables. Intermittent power supply from renewables leads to intermittent resource…
Recent trends see a move away from a fixed-resource server-centric datacenter model to a more adaptable "disaggregated" datacenter model. These disaggregated datacenters can then dynamically group resources to the specific requirements of…
A basic combinatorial online resource allocation problem is considered, where multiple servers have individual capacity constraints, and at each time slot, a set of jobs arrives, that have potentially different weights to different servers.…
In this work, we study the problem of online mechanism design for resources allocation and pricing in cloud computing (RAPCC). We show that in general the allocation problems in RAPCC are NP-hard, and therefore we focus on designing…
Cloud service providers are distributing data centers geographically to minimize energy costs through intelligent workload distribution. With increasing data volumes in emerging cloud workloads, it is critical to factor in the network costs…
Efficiently exploiting the resources of data centers is a complex task that requires efficient and reliable load balancing and resource allocation algorithms. The former are in charge of assigning jobs to servers upon their arrival in the…
We introduce and study online conversion with switching costs, a family of online problems that capture emerging problems at the intersection of energy and sustainability. In this problem, an online player attempts to purchase…
We consider a mobile network where a mobile device is running an application that requires timely information. The information at the device can be updated by downloading the latest information through neighboring access points. The…
As independent service providers shift from conventional energy to renewable energy sources, the power distribution system will likely experience increasingly significant fluctuation in supply, given the uncertain and intermittent nature of…
We propose a disruptive paradigm to actively place and schedule TWhrs of parallel AI jobs strategically on the grid, at distributed, grid-aware high performance compute data centers (HPC) capable of using their massive power and energy load…

The performance of many large-scale and data-intensive distributed systems critically depends on the capacity of the interconnecting network. This paper is motivated by the vision of self-adjusting infrastructures whose resources can be…
The ever increasing adoption of mobile devices with limited energy storage capacity, on the one hand, and more awareness of the environmental impact of massive data centres and server pools, on the other hand, have both led to an increased…
As a critical component of modern infrastructure, data centers account for a huge amount of power consumption and greenhouse gas emission. This paper studies the electricity purchase strategy for a data center to lower its energy cost while…
This paper addresses the joint scheduling problem of stochastic workloads and a hydrogen-enabled distributed energy system in a low-carbon Internet data centers (IDC). Although such workloads can be shifted over temporal and spatial…
In this paper, we study how datacenter energy cost can be effectively reduced in the wholesale electricity market via cooperative power procurement. Intuitively, by aggregating workloads and renewables across a group of datacenters, the…
Traditional DBMS servers are usually over-provisioned for most of their daily workloads and, because they do not show good-enough energy proportionality, waste a lot of energy while underutilized. A cluster of small (wimpy) servers, where…
