Carbon Containers: A System-level Facility for Managing Application-level Carbon Emissions
John Thiede, Noman Bashir, David Irwin +1
To reduce their environmental impact, cloud datacenters' are increasingly focused on optimizing applications' carbon-efficiency, or work done per mass of carbon emitted. To facilit…
WattScope: Non-intrusive Application-level Power Disaggregation in Datacenters
Xiaoding Guan, Noman Bashir, David Irwin +1
Datacenter capacity is growing exponentially to satisfy the increasing demand for emerging computationally-intensive applications, such as deep learning. This trend has led to conc…
On the Promise and Pitfalls of Optimizing Embodied Carbon
Noman Bashir, David Irwin, Prashant Shenoy
To halt further climate change, computing, along with the rest of society, must reduce, and eventually eliminate, its carbon emissions. Recently, many researchers have focused on e…
On the Limitations of Carbon-Aware Temporal and Spatial Workload Shifting in the Cloud
Thanathorn Sukprasert, Abel Souza, Noman Bashir +2
Cloud platforms have been focusing on reducing their carbon emissions by shifting workloads across time and locations to when and where low-carbon energy is available. Despite the…
Jointly Managing Electrical and Thermal Energy in Solar- and Battery-powered Computer Systems
Noman Bashir, Yasra Chandio, David Irwin +3
Environmentally-powered computer systems operate on renewable energy harvested from their environment, such as solar or wind, and stored in batteries. While harvesting environmenta…
Cloud Index Tracking: Enabling Predictable Costs in Cloud Spot Markets
Supreeth Shastri, David Irwin
Cloud spot markets rent VMs for a variable price that is typically much lower than the price of on-demand VMs, which makes them attractive for a wide range of large-scale applicati…
Portfolio-driven Resource Management for Transient Cloud Servers
Prateek Sharma, David Irwin, Prashant Shenoy
Cloud providers have begun to offer their surplus capacity in the form of low-cost transient servers, which can be revoked unilaterally at any time. While the low cost of transient…
