Descripción
Sumario:This work exposes how to represent a grid data-center based scheduling problem, taking the advantages of the virtualization and consolidation techniques, as a linear integer programming problem including all three mentioned factors. Although being integer linear programming (ILP) a computationally hard problem, specifying correctly its constraints and optimization function can contribute to find integer optimal solutions in relative short time. So ILP solutions can help designers and system managers not only to apply them to schedulers but also to create new heuristics and holistic functions that approximate well to the optimal solutions in a quicker way.
