Abstract

Efficiency in cloud servers’ power consumption is of paramount importance. Power efficiency makes the reduction in greenhouse gases establishing the concept of green computing. One of the beneficial ways is to apply power-aware methods to decide where to allocate virtual machines (VMs) in data center physical resources. Virtualization is utilized as a promising technology for power-aware VM allocation methods. Since the VM allocation is an NP-complete problem, we use of evolutionary algorithms to solve it. This paper presents an effective micro-genetic algorithm in order to choose suitable destinations between physical hosts for VMs. Our evaluations in simulation environment show that micro-genetic approach provides invaluable improvements in terms of power consumption compared with other methods.
