CHERUB power consumption aware cluster resource management
- This paper presents an evaluation of ACPI energy saving modes, and deduces the design and implementation of an energy saving daemon for clusters called cherub. The design of the cherub daemon is modular and extensible. Since the only requirement is a central approach for resource management, cherub is suited for Server Load Balancing (SLB) clusters managed by dispatchers like Linux Virtual Server (LVS), as well as for High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters. Our experimental results show that cherub's scheduling algorithm works well, i.e. it will save energy, if possible, and avoids state-flapping.
