Energy-efficient Workload Allocation and Computation Resource Configuration in Distributed Cloud/Edge Computing Systems With Stochastic Workloads

Energy efficiency is one of the most important concerns in cloud/edge computing systems. A major benefit of the Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) technique is that a Virtual Machine (VM) can dynamically scale its computation frequency on an on-demand basis, which is helpful in reducing the energy cost of computation when dealing with stochastic workloads. In this paper, we study the joint workload allocation and computation resource...
