A Constraint Programming Based Energy Aware Resource Management Middleware for Clouds Processing MapReduce Jobs with Deadlines

Abstract

This paper concerns guarantees on system performance through Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance and focuses on devising energy aware resource management techniques based on Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) used by resource management middleware in clouds that handle MapReduce jobs. This research formulates the resource management problem as an optimization problem using Constraint Programming (CP). Experimental results presented in the paper demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique.
