Abstract
On December 15th, 2017 the HyPPO project (Hybrid Power-capping and Performance-aware Orchestration in the cloud computing era) won the HiPEAC Tech Transfer Award.
The competition aims to award and celebrate the transfer of research results into industry, be it through technology licensing or providing dedicated services to an existing company or through the creation of a new company. This success was achieved through the effort and the work of Donatella Sciuto, Marco D. Santambrogio, Sara Notargiacomo, Rolando Brondolin and Marco Arnaboldi, members of the NECST laboratory at DEIB - Politecnico di Milano.
HyPPO consists in a set of orchestration methodologies enabling datacenter providers to save up to 30% of the energy consumed with respect to a client defined SLA (Service Level Agreement). More in details, this methodology targets the needs of both application and data-intensive services owners (e.g. social networks, instant payment services, automated translation, as-a-Service software platforms, webmail services and so on), which represent the greatest part of the workloads deployed on the cloud. Furthermore, this kind of workloads are characterized by the need of an extreme responsiveness, introducing novel challenges in their orchestration.
This is the second award achieved by the research group, following the success as “best innovation and business-oriented idea” achieved last September during the Switch2Product competition, sponsored and managed by Polihub, Deloitte and the Technology Transfer Office of the Politecnico di Milano.
