- Abstract:
-
In order to improve the service quality and to save the system cost of the cloud computing center, for a cloud computing center with two demand classes, a method to optimize the number of servers was proposed. First, a queuing model having two demand classes was established for analyzing performance measures such as distribution of the probability of stability and mean queue length; next, a power consumption model was established on the cloud computing center; finally, the wait and power-consumption cost of the system were used together to construct the cost function of the system and optimize the server quantity for realizing the lowest cost. The numerical results show that the optimal number of servers is a non-decreasing function of the arrival rate of demands. To minimize the system cost, dynamically adjusting the number of servers is necessary.
