Asymptotic Performance of an Energy-Aware G/G/C Queue with General Setup Times

An intuitive solution to address the immense energy demands of datacentres is to turn servers off to incur less costs. However, when to turn a specific server off and when to then turn that server back on are far from trivial questions. As such, many different authors have modeled this problem as an M/M/C queue where each server can be turned on with an exponentially distributed setup time or turned off instantaneously. Due to the complexity of …
