Abstract:
A system that balances thermal variations within a set of computer systems in a datacenter. During operation, the system obtains a thermal flux map for the set of computer systems. The system then analyzes the thermal flux map to determine whether imbalances exist in the thermal flux across the set of computer systems. If so, the system can adjust: (1) the scheduling of loads across the set of computer systems, and/or (2) air conditioning within the datacenter, so that the thermal flux is more balanced across the set of computer systems.
