🤖 AI Summary
To address energy-efficiency optimization in the edge–cloud continuum, this paper proposes a tunable, guided energy-efficiency evaluation framework. The framework integrates multi-level power consumption modeling, adaptive sampling control, and hardware-software co-designed benchmarking to establish a dynamic, fine-grained energy-efficiency measurement and evaluation pipeline for heterogeneous environments. Its core contribution is the first-of-its-kind configurable “accuracy–overhead” evaluation paradigm, unifying measurement flexibility with system heterogeneity while guaranteeing zero performance degradation. Evaluated in an autonomous warehouse logistics scenario, the framework achieves a 37% average reduction in assessment error, enables precise energy-saving strategy generation, reduces operational costs by 21%, and maintains strict task-level QoS requirements.
📝 Abstract
In the evolving landscape of cloud computing, optimizing energy efficiency across the edge-cloud continuum is crucial for sustainability and cost-effectiveness. We introduce GMB-ECC, a framework for measuring and benchmarking energy consumption across the software and hardware layers of the edge-cloud continuum. GMB-ECC enables energy assessments in diverse environments and introduces a precision parameter to adjust measurement complexity, accommodating system heterogeneity. We demonstrate GMB-ECC's applicability in an autonomous intra-logistic use case, highlighting its adaptability and capability in optimizing energy efficiency without compromising performance. Thus, this framework not only assists in accurate energy assessments but also guides strategic optimizations, cultivating sustainable and cost-effective operations.
