 The DCworms allows researchers to take into account energy efficiency and thermal issues in distributed computing experiments. That can be achieved by the means of appropriate models and profiles. In general, the main goal of the models is to emulate the behavior of the real computing resources, while profiles support models by providing data essential for the energy usage calculations. Introducing particular models into the simulation environment is possible through choosing or implementation of dedicated energy plugins that contain methods to calculate power usage of resources, their temperature and system air throughput values. Presence of detailed resource usage information, current resource energy and thermal state description and a functional energy management interface enables an implementation of energy-aware scheduling algorithms. Resource energy consumption and thermal metrics become in this context an additional criterion in the resource management process. Scheduling plugins are provided with dedicated interfaces, which allow them to collect detailed information about computing resource components and to affect their behavior.

-DCworms is an open framework in which various models and algorithms can be investigated as presented in Section \ref{sec:apps}.

 The most common questions explored by researchers who study energy-efficiency of distributed computing systems is how much energy $E$ do these systems require to execute workloads. In order to obtain this value the simulator must calculate values of power $P_i(t)$ and load $L_i(t)$ in time for all $m$ computing nodes, $i=1..m$. Load function may depend on specific load models applied. In more complex cases it can even be defined as vectors of different resource usage in time. In a simple case load can be either idle or busy but even in this case estimation of job processing times $p_j$ is needed to calculate total energy consumption. The total energy consumption of computing nodes is given by (\ref{eq:E}):

 Power function may depend on load and states of resources or even specific applications as explained in Section~\ref{sec:power}. Total energy can be also completed by adding constant power usage of components that does not depend on load or state of resources. 
 
-In large computing systems which are often characterized by high computational density, total energy consumption of computing nodes is not the only result interesting for researchers. Temperature distribution is getting more and more important as it affects the energy consumption of cooling devices, which can reach even half of a total data center energy use. In order to obtain accurate values of temperatures heat transfer simulations based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods  have to be performed. These methods require as an input (i.e. boundary conditions) a heat dissipated by IT hardware and air throughput generated by fans at servers' outlets. Another approach is based on simplified thermal models that without costly CFD calculations provide rough estimations of temperatures. DCworms enables the use of both approaches. In the former, the output of simulations including power usage of computing nodes in time and air throughput at node outlets can be passed to CFD solver.

-%The DCworms comes with the following air throughput models.
-%By default, air throughput estimations are performed according to the first one.

-%\textbf{Static} model refers to a static definition of air throughput states. According to this approach, output air flow depends only on the present air cooling working state and the corresponding air throughput value. Each state change triggers the calculations and updates the current air throughput value. This strategy requires only a basic air throughput profile definition.
-
-%\textbf{Space} model allows taking into account a duct associated with the investigated air flow. On the basis of the given fan rotation speed and the obstacles before/behind the fans, the output air throughput can be roughly estimated. To this end, additional manufacturer's specifications will be required, including resulting air velocity values and fan duct dimensions. Thus, it is possible to estimate the air flow level not only referring to the current fan operating state but also with respect to the resource and its subcomponent placement. More advanced scenario may consider mutual impact of several air flows.

 Referring to the Table~\ref{loadEnergy}, one should easily note that gain from switching off unused nodes decreases with the increasing workload density. In general, for the highly loaded system such policy does not find an application due to the cost related to this process and relatively small benefits. Another interesting conclusion, refers to the poor result for Random strategy with downgrading the frequency approach. The lack of improvement on the energy usage criterion for higher system load can be explained by the relatively small or no benefit obtained for prolonging the task execution, and thus, maintaining the node in working state. The cost of longer workload completion can not be compensate by the very little energy savings derived from the lower operating state of node. The greater criteria values for the higher system load are the result of greater time space between submission of successive tasks, and thus longer workload execution. Based on Table~\ref{loadMakespan}, one should note that differences in workload completion times are relatively small for all evaluated policies, except Random + lowest frequency approach.
 
-We also demonstrated differences between power usage models. They span from rough static approach to accurate application specific models. However, the latter can be difficult or even infeasible to use, as it requires real measurements for specific applications beforehand. This issue can be partially resolved by introducing application profiles and classification, which can deteriorate the accuracy though. This issue is begin studied more deeply within CoolEmAll project.

 In this paper we presented a Data Center Workload and Resource Management Simulator (DCworms) which enables modeling and simulation of computing infrastructures to estimate their performance, energy consumption, and energy-efficiency metrics for diverse workloads and management policies. DCworms provides broad options of customization and combines detailed applications and workloads modeling with simulation of data center resources including their power usage and thermal behavior.
 We shown its energy-efficiency related features and proposed three methods of power usage modeling: static (fully defined by resource state), dynamic (defined by a function of parameters such as CPU frequency and load), and mapping (based on power usage of specific applications). We compared results of simulations to measurements of real servers and shown differences in accuracy and usability of these models. 
-We also demonstrated DCworms capabilities to implement various resource management policies including workload scheduling and node power management.  The experimental studies we conducted shown that their  impact on overall energy-efficiency depends on a type of servers, their power usage in idle time, possibility of switching off nodes as well as level of load.
+We also demonstrated DCworms capabilities to implement various resource management policies including workload scheduling and node power management.

The experimental studies we conducted shown that their impact on overall energy-efficiency depends on a type of servers, their power usage in idle time, possibility of switching off nodes as well as level of load.
 DCworms is a part of the Simulation, Visualisation and Decision Support (SVD) Toolkit being developed within the CoolEmAll project. The aim of this toolkit is, based on data center building blocks defined by the project, to analyze energy-efficiency of data centers taking into account various aspects such as heterogenous hardware architectures, applications, management policies, and cooling. DCworms will take as an input the open models of the data center building blocks and application profiles. DCworms will be applied to evaluation of resource management approaches. These policies may include a wide spectrum of energy-aware strategies such as workload consolidation, dynamic switching off nodes, DVFS and thermal-aware methods. Output of simulations will include distribution of servers' power usage in time along with estimations of server outlets air flow. These data will be passed to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations using OpenFOAM solver and to advanced 3D visualization. In this way users will be able to study energy-efficiency of a data center from a detailed analysis of workloads and policies to the impact on heat transfer and overall energy consumption. 
-Thus, future work on DCworms will focus on more precise power, air-throughput, and thermal models. Additional research directions will include modeling application execution phases, adding predefined common HPC and cloud management policies and application performance and resource power models.
