What I will write about

Optimal number of sleeping servers vs icdf percentile.
added up distribution (how it's different... it's not).

Where will I put this new information. The part of adding up the distribution could go at the end of the paper I was writing. It seems to go well there.

Sleeping servers could can go in its own chapter maybe?

What I'm going to do

One thing for sure is use a percentile of a convolved distribution. This is very clear.

Another thing I can do is at least simulate what happens when I have sleeping servers.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to run something for real with sleeping servers, as running something will entail live migration, which I'm not going to be able to do.

Power

Suspend takes about 2.67 watts / second.
idle takes about 46 watts.
1 cpu takes 58 watts.
2 cpus take 67
3 cpus take 75
4 cpus take 83 watts

y=9.1x+47.6

Before I forget

• Utility of Sleep


• Use 75th percentile of convolved distribution


• use sample from lower distribution, add up and use that 75th percentile

No Optimization?

I was having a weird problem where my thing was not able to optimize. It was so weird. For high cdf values, it just couldn't improve the solution. I think after toying around with it today, I figured it out. when you increase the cdf value past a certain point, and the items were made to be 3 per bin, then the items have to be 2 per bin because they're all too big for the 3. So, you get a point where you can't optimize.

Pack Seperately

The pack seperately idea did not do as well as we had hoped for one test that I ran.

Stuff I'm getting done today

I redid some of the RGGA paper. I don't feel like it's in full form, but I put content in there.


The only thing that has changed is the introduction, the last part of the results and the conclusions.
