With the rapid growth of servers and applications spurred by the Internet, the power consumption of servers has become critically important and must be efficiently managed. This paper presents a theoretical and experimental framework and general methodology for hierarchical autonomic power/performance management in high performance distributed data centers. We optimize for power & performance at each level of the data center hierarchy. Our technique improves memory performance-per-watt by 88.48%.
