Abstract
A time-aware method of scheduling application tasks in a green data center (GDC) using a task scheduling processor and an energy collecting processor connected to one or more renewable energy sources and a grid power source. The method includes receiving energy data regarding available energy from renewable energy resources such that the renewable energy source is used first then receiving the application tasks and determining a service rate for servers to process the application tasks by using a service rate obtained by solving a profit maximization problem for the GDC by prioritizing and immediately scheduling or removing certain application tasks. The method also includes determining an initial fitness level of each representative application task based on total revenue of the GDC, an energy cost of the GDC, and a penalty associated with violated constraints. The application tasks are formulaically scheduled to be executed in one or more of the servers such that the application tasks maximize a profit in the GDC while guaranteeing delay constraints.
