IDENTIFICATION OF IDLE SERVERS USING POWER CONSUMPTION

摘要

Power consumption data for a server and temperature data from a location containing the server are received. It is determined that variation in the power consumption data exceeds a first threshold level. It is determined, in response to determining variation in the power consumption data exceeds the first threshold level, variation in the temperature data does not exceed a second threshold level. It is determined, in response to determining variation in the temperature data does not exceed a second threshold level, variation in the power consumption data follows a cyclic pattern. The server is identified as idle in response to determining the variation in the power consumption data follows the cyclic pattern.

1. A computer-implemented method for identifying idle servers, the method comprising:
receiving power consumption data, for a server, for a period of time; receiving temperature data, for the period of time, from a location containing the server; determining variation in the power consumption data exceeds a first threshold level; determining, in response to the determining variation in the power consumption data exceeds the first threshold level, variation in the temperature data does not exceed a second threshold level; determining, in response to the determining variation in the temperature data does not exceed a second threshold level, variation in the power consumption data follows a cyclic pattern; and identifying the server as idle in response to the determining the variation in the power consumption data follows the cyclic pattern.
