Abstract

Rapid growth in Big Data and Cloud technologies has fueled rising energy demands in large server systems such as data centers, leading to a need for effective power management. In this paper, we investigate the energy consumption characteristics of data-intensive distributed applications in terms of the CPU and memory subsystem. To this end, we develop PowerSave as a lightweight software framework that enables dynamic reconfiguration of power limits. PowerSave uses Running Average Power Limit (RAPL) to impose power limits. Our evaluation study, conducted on three different real systems, demonstrates that for workloads typical of servers used in data centers, higher power caps correlate with higher overall CPU energy use.
