As green computing is becoming a popular computing paradigm, the performance of energy-efficient data center becomes increasingly important. This paper proposes power-aware performance management via stochastic control method (PAPMSC), a novel stochastic control approach for virtualized web servers. It addresses the instability and inefficiency issues due to dynamic web workloads. It features a coordinated control architecture that optimizes the resource allocation and minimizes the overall power consumption while guaranteeing the service level agreements (SLAs). More specifically, due to the interference effect among the co-located virtualized web servers and time-varying workloads, the relationship between the hardware resource assignment to different virtual servers and the web applications’ performance is considered as a coupled Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO) system and formulated as a robust optimization problem. We propose a constrained stochastic linear-quadratic controller (cSLQC) to solve the problem by minimizing the quadratic cost function subject to constraints on resource allocation and applications’ performance. Furthermore, a proportional controller is integrated to enhance system stability. In the second layer, we dynamically manipulate the physical frequency for power efficiency using an adaptive linear quadratic regulator (ALQR). Experiments on our testbed server with a variety of workload patterns demonstrate that the proposed control solution significantly outperforms existing solutions in terms of effectiveness and robustness. 相似文献

Active Control of Tensegrity Systems 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Tensegrity systems have been known for almost half a century. Their mechanical and geometrical characteristics make them suitable to terrestrial and extraterrestrial applications. This paper describes a numerical scheme of active control of tensegrity systems in extraterrestrial applications. An algorithm based on instantaneous optimal control has been developed and applied to an assembly of elementary tensegrity cells. The whole structural system comprises four cells forming a linear structure with 27 cables and 12 struts. Active control is realized in the first simulation by means of three actuators and in the second by means of six actuators located on two of the four cells. The results show that vibration amplitudes of nodes are reduced by such an active control scheme. 相似文献

In this paper, we consider the robust stabilization problem for linear discrete time-varying (LTV) systems using the gap metric. In particular, we show that the time-varying (TV) directed gap reduces to an operator with a TV Hankel plus Toeplitz structure. Computation of the norm of such an operator can be carried out using an iterative scheme involving a TV Hankel operator defined on a space of Hilbert–Schmidt causal operators. The “infimization” in the TV directed gap formula is shown to be, in fact, a minimum by using duality theory. The latter holds as well in the time-invariant case. 相似文献

Hierarchical carbon nanostructures based on ultra-long carbon nanofibers (CNF) decorated with carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been prepared using plasma processes. The nickel/carbon composite nanofibers, used as a support for the growth of CNT, were deposited on nanopatterned silicon substrate by a hybrid plasma process, combining magnetron sputtering and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of spherical nanoparticles randomly dispersed within the carbon nanofibers. The nickel nanoparticles have been used as a catalyst to initiate the growth of CNT by PECVD at 600°C. After the growth of CNT onto the ultra-long CNF, SEM imaging revealed the formation of hierarchical carbon nanostructures which consist of CNF sheathed with CNTs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that reducing the growth temperature of CNT to less than 500°C leads to the formation of carbon nanowalls on the CNF instead of CNT. This simple fabrication method allows an easy preparation of hierarchical carbon nanostructures over a large surface area, as well as a simple manipulation of such material in order to integrate it into nanodevices. 相似文献
