Abstract
A method for optimizing energy consumption of a computing infrastructure comprising a plurality of compute nodes, each associated with a plurality of jobs. The method includes receiving an energy consumption reduction request comprising an energy consumption reduction objective; determining a set of jobs to be suspended; and sending, to a runtime environment of each compute node associated with a job comprised in the determined set of jobs, a suspension request comprising said job. Upon receiving the suspension request, the method includes suspending the job comprised in the received suspension request, the suspension being carried out via a set of non-native instructions implemented in the runtime environment of each compute node; and active waiting by the suspended job for a suspension stop message comprising said suspended job, the active waiting being carried out via a set of non-native instructions implemented in the runtime environment of each compute node.
