SprintCon: Controllable and Efficient Computational Sprinting for Data Center Servers

Abstract

Computational sprinting is an effective mechanism to temporarily boost the performance of data center servers. However, given the great effect on performance improvement, how to make the sprinting process controllable and how to maximize the sprinting efficiency have not been well discussed yet. Those can be significant problems for a data center when computational sprinting is needed for more than a few minutes, since it requires the support of energy storage, whose capacity is limited. The control and efficiency of sprinting not only involve how fast to run servers and how to allocate resources to co-running workloads, but also the impact on power overload, and how to handle the overload with circuit breakers and energy storage to ensure power safety. Different workloads can impact sprinting in different ways, and hence efficient sprinting requires workload-specific strategies. In this paper, we propose SprintCon to realize controllable and efficient computational sprinting for data center servers. SprintCon mainly consists of a power load allocator and two different power controllers. The allocator analyzes how to divide the power load to different power sources. The server power controller adapts the CPU cores that process batch workloads, to improve the efficiency in terms of computing, energy and cost. The UPS power controller dynamically adjusts the discharge rate of UPS energy storage to satisfy the time-varying power demand of interactive workloads, and ensure power safety. The experiment results show that compared to state-of-the-art solutions, SprintCon can achieve 6-56% better computing performance and up to 87% less demand of energy storage.
