商品描述

This book is the first to provide an overview of variable capacity scheduling and how it helps balance the growth of computing with its increasing environmental impact by creating more resilient and efficient systems that adapt to the dynamic nature of resource availability, optimizing utilization and minimizing disruptions.

The book covers all aspects of variable capacity scheduling from a technical and a societal perspective. It considers the new age of renewable power generation and how computing services can contribute to sustainability and grid decarbonization. Contributors investigate techniques that can be deployed for schedulers to cope with, or even benefit from, changes in the number of computing resources and the nature of the power sources. They survey emerging computing devices, such as edge servers, as alternatives to classical cloud computing platforms; they identify applications for monitoring energy and regulating power; and they investigate energy minimization and risk-aware scheduling in real-time systems, asking: 'How can a server with a variable processing speed schedule jobs with hard deadlines while minimizing its energy consumption?' The authors address the societal impact of computing, exploring how the social sciences play a critical role in solving the computing sustainability challenge and including a holistic analysis of current and future approaches, taking the whole life-cycle and rebound effects into account.

Presenting all the corresponding challenges and opportunities of variable capacity scheduling, this is an excellent introduction to the topic for students, researchers, computing scientists, or concerned citizens interested in sustainability.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是首部提供可變容量排程概述的著作，探討其如何透過創造更具彈性和效率的系統來平衡計算增長與其日益增加的環境影響，這些系統能夠適應資源可用性的動態特性，優化利用率並最小化中斷。

本書從技術和社會的角度涵蓋可變容量排程的各個方面。它考慮到可再生能源發電的新時代，以及計算服務如何能夠促進可持續性和電網脫碳。貢獻者們研究了可以部署給排程器的技術，以應對或甚至從計算資源數量和電源性質的變化中受益。他們調查了新興的計算設備，例如邊緣伺服器，作為傳統雲計算平台的替代方案；他們確定了監控能源和調節電力的應用；並且他們研究了在即時系統中進行能源最小化和風險感知排程的問題，提出了「如何讓一個具有可變處理速度的伺服器在最小化能耗的同時排程具有嚴格截止日期的工作？」的問題。作者們探討了計算的社會影響，研究社會科學在解決計算可持續性挑戰中所扮演的關鍵角色，並包括對當前和未來方法的整體分析，考慮整個生命週期和反彈效應。

本書呈現了可變容量排程的所有相關挑戰和機會，是對該主題的優秀介紹，適合對可持續性感興趣的學生、研究人員、計算科學家或關心社會的公民。
