Therefore, energy efficiency is regarded as the best economical approach to provide safer and affordable energy for both utilities and consumers, through the enhancement of energy security and reduction of energy emissions. One of the problems of cloud computing service providers is the high rise in the cost of energy, efficiency together with carbon emission with regards to the running of their internet data centres (IDCs). In order to mitigate these issues, smart micro-grid was found to be suitable in increasing the energy efficiency, sustainability together with the reliability of electrical services for the IDCs. Therefore, this paper presents idea on how smart micro-grids can bring down the disturbing cost of energy, carbon emission by the IDCs with some level of energy efficiency all in an effort to attain green cloud computing services from the service providers. In specific term, we aim at achieving green information and communication technology (ICT) in the field of cloud computing in relations to energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness and carbon emission reduction from cloud data center’s perspective.展开更多

OPEX reduction is a big concern and a key target in modern data centers. In this study, the scalability of the Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) power management technique is studied under multiple different workloads. The environment of this study is a 3-Tier data center. We conducted multiple experiments to find the impact of using DVFS on energy reduction under two scheduling techniques, namely: Round Robin and Green. We observed that the amount of energy reduction varies according to data center load. When the data center load increases, the energy reduction decreases. Experiments using Green scheduler showed around 83% decrease in power consumption when DVFS is enabled and DC is lightly loaded. In case the DC is fully loaded, in which case the servers’ CPUs are constantly busy with no idle time, the effect of DVFS decreases and stabilizes to less than 10%. Experiments using Round Robin scheduler showed less energy saving by DVFS, specifically, around 25% in light DC load and less than 5% in heavy DC load. In order to find the effect of task weight on energy consumption, a set of experiments were conducted through applying thin and fat tasks. A thin task has much less instructions compared to fat tasks. We observed, through the simulation, that the difference in power reduction between both types of tasks when using DVFS is less than 1%.展开更多

Because there are tens of thousands of nodes in data center, the probability of server failures is nontrivial. Therefore, it is a critical challenge to guarantee the service reliability. Fault-tolerance strategies, such as checkpoint, are commonly employed. Because of the failure of the edge switches, the checkpoint image may become inaccessible. Therefore, current checkpoint-based fault tolerance method cannot achieve the best effect. In this paper, we propose an optimal checkpoint method with edge switch failure-aware. The edge switch failure-aware checkpoint method includes two algorithms. The first algorithm employs the data center topology and communication characteristic for checkpoint image storage server selection. The second algorithm employs the checkpoint image storage characteristic as well as the data center topology to select the recovery server. Simulation experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

For example, IoT applications that generate small data with large volume and fast velocity will need 5G with characteristics of high data rate and low latency to transmit such data faster and cheaper. On the other hand, those data also need Cloud to process and to store and furthermore, SDN to provide scalable network infrastructure to transport this large volume of data in an optimal way. This article explores the technical relationships among the development of IoT, Big Data, Cloud, and SDN in the coming 5G era and illustrates several ongoing programs and applications at National Chiao Tung University that are based on the converging of those technologies.展开更多

Simulation experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
文摘The fast technology development of 5G mobile broadband (5G), Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data Analytics (Big Data), Cloud Computing (Cloud) and Software Defined Networks (SDN) has made those technologies one after another and created strong interdependence among one another. For example, IoT applications that generate small data with large volume and fast velocity will need 5G with characteristics of high data rate and low latency to transmit such data faster and cheaper. On the other hand, those data also need Cloud to process and to store and furthermore, SDN to provide scalable network infrastructure to transport this large volume of data in an optimal way. This article explores the technical relationships among the development of IoT, Big Data, Cloud, and SDN in the coming 5G era and illustrates several ongoing programs and applications at National Chiao Tung University that are based on the converging of those technologies.
文摘Cloud computing is a new vision about the needs of information technology （IT）. It provides a comprehensive concept for building a homogeneous environment through services offered in the cloud Software-as-a-Service （SaaS）, Platform-as-a-Service （PaaS）, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service （IaaS）. Cloud computing is location-independent computing, whereby shared servers provide resources, software, and data to computers and other devices on demand, as with the electricity grid. Cloud computing is computing paradigm that is driven by economies of scale, in which a set of dynamically-scalable resources such as servers, storages, platforms, and services are delivered on demand to the customers over the interuet. ＂Cloud computing is a continuation of the direction the industry has been going for the last several years in terms of using shared and elastically scalable computing resources,＂ says Rex Wang1, VP of Product Marketing at Oracle, who spoke at the Gartner Data Center Conference, in January 2011. Cloud computing refers to dynamic provision of virtual distributed computational resources on demand via a computer network. Cloud computing is a new high technology industry that possesses a number of advantages over existing business practices： a reduction of expenses, technical staff, and efforts of the end users.
文摘The convergence of Internet of things(IoT)and 5G holds immense potential for transforming industries by enabling real-time,massive-scale connectivity and automation.However,the growing number of devices connected to the IoT systems demands a communication network capable of handling vast amounts of data with minimal delay.These generated enormous complex,high-dimensional,high-volume,and high-speed data also brings challenges on its storage,transmission,processing,and energy cost,due to the limited computing capabilities,battery capacity,memory,and energy utilization of current IoT networks.In this paper,a seamless architecture by combining mobile and cloud computing is proposed.It can agilely bargain with 5G-IoT devices,sensor nodes,and mobile computing in a distributed manner,enabling minimized energy cost,high interoperability,and high scalability as well as overcoming the memory constraints.An artificial intelligence(AI)-powered green and energy-efficient architecture is then proposed for 5G-IoT systems and sustainable smart cities.The experimental results reveal that the proposed approach dramatically reduces the transmitted data volume and power consumption and yields superior results regarding interoperability,compression ratio,and energy saving.This is especially critical in enabling the deployment of 5G and even 6G wireless systems for smart cities.
