Towards Power Consumption Reduction by User Behavior Monitoring at Application level

This paper gives an overview about our ongoing research which aims at adaptive power consumption optimization in enterprise systems where cost for operating the cooling systems has almost reached near server operating cost. Our methodology focuses at application level. This level can best describe user applications dependence on the underlying system and can play an effective role in power management decisions. We will also present our initial level experimentation which can set a solid base for our research.
