TreehouseDatacenter energy consumption represents about 1% of worldwide electricity consumption. With demand for datacenter computing projected to double every few years, this is simply not sustainable without continued rapid improvements
in datacenter energy efficiency. Our vision in this proposal is to achieve a quantum leap in datacenter energy efficiency and resource utilization, by proposing Treehouse, a system architecture for balancing resource consumption and allowing developers to optimize for lower energy usage. The key design principle underlying Treehouse is to treat workloads and hardware resources in a fine-grained and fungible way. Importantly, Treehouse also provides developers the means to precisely estimate the energy usage of their applications and implement scheduling and hardware offloading policies that optimize for lower energy usage.
