摘要：Cloud computing data centers are becoming popular for the provisioning of computingresources. The cost and operating expenses of data centers have increased with the increase in computing capacity. Several researches and surveys indicate that the energy utilized by computing and communication units within a data center contributes to a considerable portion of the data center operational costs.In this paper, we present a simulation environment for energyaware cloud computing data centers. Along with the workload distribution, the simulator is designed to capture details of the energy consumed by data center components as well as packetlevel communication patterns between them. The simulation results obtained for twotier, threetier, and threetier highspeed data center architectures which demonstrate the effectiveness of the simulator in utilizing different power management schema, such as voltage scaling, frequency scaling, and dynamicshutdown.
