SOFTScale: Stealing Opportunistically for Transient Scaling
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Dynamic capacity provisioning is a well studied approach to handling gradual changes in data center load. However, abrupt spikes in load are still problematic in that the work in the system rises very quickly during the setup time needed to turn on additional capacity. Performance can be severely affected even if it takes only 5 seconds to bring additional capacity online. In this paper, we propose SOFTScale, an approach to handling load spikes in multi-tier data centers without having to
