“…Several authors have proposed various power models [71], either to be used in simulation as a tool in designing energy-efficient data centers [16], [25], [28], [32], [36], [42], [48], [72], [73], or for server-level optimization [15], [17], [36], [37], [43], [45], [48], [49], [59], [72]- [74], [20]- [25], [27], [32]. The works on server-level optimization can be divided into two categories: 1) hardware-based on the server's die temperature, fan speed, heat dissipation, voltage, current, capacitance, motherboard components, and resistance [8]- [14], and 2) software-based, reflecting the server's user-level utilization metrics such as CPU, memory, disk, and network [15], [16], [25]- [34], [17], [35]- [44], [18], [45]- [49], [19]- [24]. The software-based models can be divided into linear [15], [16], [25]- [34], [17], …”
