SimWare: A Holistic Warehouse-Scale Computer Simulator

To optimize datacenter energy efficiency, SimWare analyzes the power consumption of servers, cooling units, and fans as well as the effects of heat recirculation and air supply timing. Experiments using SimWare show a high loss of cooling efficiency due to the nonuniform inlet air temperature distri...

Description
Summary:To optimize datacenter energy efficiency, SimWare analyzes the power consumption of servers, cooling units, and fans as well as the effects of heat recirculation and air supply timing. Experiments using SimWare show a high loss of cooling efficiency due to the nonuniform inlet air temperature distribution across servers.
