Abstract

Servcie allocation algorithms have been drawing popularity in cloudcomputing research community. There has been lots of research onimprovingservice allocation schemes for high utilization, latency reductionand VM migration enfficient, but few work focus on energy consumptionaffected by instance placement in data centers. In this paper we propose an algorithm in which to maximize the number of freed-up machines in data centers, machines that host purely scale-down instances, which are reuiqred to be shut down for energy saving at certain points of time. We intuitively employ a probability partitioning mechanism to schedule services such that the goal of the maximization can be achieved. Furthermore we perform a set of experiments to test the partitioning rules, which show that the proposed algorithms can dynamically increase the number of freed-up machines substantially.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i1.1792

Abstract

In this paper, the definition of information and data are presented with examples illustrating the differences between them. To articulate the value of information, the definition of quantities of information, based on information theory, generally considered to be founded by Claude Shannon, has been quoted. In addition, with corresponding mathematical derivations, specific examples are employed to manifest the factors that make information valuable. At last, we have a multifold discussion on the importance of information to economics.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i6.1795
