Scheduling Variable Capacity Resources for Sustainability
Description

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.
