DCcluster-Opt: Benchmarking Dynamic Multi-Objective Optimization for Geo-Distributed Data Center Workloads

  • 融合真实电网碳强度、电价、天气等多源数据,模拟全球数据中心运行
  • 支持多目标动态调度,可同时优化碳排放、能耗、服务等级和用水量
  • 提供可复现的开源测试平台,适合研究绿色计算与强化学习算法

大规模人工智能的能源需求和碳足迹日益增长,亟需智能工作负载管理。然而,现有研究受限于缺乏能真实反映时间变化的环境因素(如电网碳强度、电价、天气)、数据中心物理特性(CPU、GPU、内存、暖通空调能耗)及地理分布式网络动态(延迟与传输成本)之间复杂交互的基准测试。为此,我们提出DCcluster-Opt:一个开源、高保真度的仿真基准,用于可持续的跨时空任务调度研究。该平台整合了20个全球区域的真实数据集,包括AI工作负载轨迹、电网碳强度、电力市场、天气、云传输成本及实测网络延迟参数,并结合物理驱动的数据中心模型,支持可重复、严谨的研究。其挑战性调度任务要求顶层协调代理在满足资源和服务等级协议的前提下,动态重新分配或推迟任务,以优化多个目标。环境还建模了热回收等先进组件,模块化奖励机制可显式研究碳排放、能源成本、服务等级协议和用水量之间的权衡。平台提供Gymnasium API与基线控制器(含强化学习与规则策略),支持机器学习研究的可比性与公平评估。通过提供真实、可配置且易访问的测试环境,DCcluster-Opt加速下一代可持续计算解决方案在地理分布式数据中心中的开发与验证。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The increasing energy demands and carbon footprint of large-scale AI require intelligent workload management in globally distributed data centers. Yet progress is limited by the absence of benchmarks that realistically capture the interplay of time-varying environmental factors (grid carbon intensity, electricity prices, weather), detailed data center physics (CPUs, GPUs, memory, HVAC energy), and geo-distributed network dynamics (latency and transmission costs). To bridge this gap, we present DCcluster-Opt: an open-source, high-fidelity simulation benchmark for sustainable, geo-temporal task scheduling. DCcluster-Opt combines curated real-world datasets, including AI workload traces, grid carbon intensity, electricity markets, weather across 20 global regions, cloud transmission costs, and empirical network delay parameters with physics-informed models of data center operations, enabling rigorous and reproducible research in sustainable computing. It presents a challenging scheduling problem where a top-level coordinating agent must dynamically reassign or defer tasks that arrive with resource and service-level agreement requirements across a configurable cluster of data centers to optimize multiple objectives. The environment also models advanced components such as heat recovery. A modular reward system enables an explicit study of trade-offs among carbon emissions, energy costs, service level agreements, and water use. It provides a Gymnasium API with baseline controllers, including reinforcement learning and rule-based strategies, to support reproducible ML research and a fair comparison of diverse algorithms. By offering a realistic, configurable, and accessible testbed, DCcluster-Opt accelerates the development and validation of next-generation sustainable computing solutions for geo-distributed data centers.
