COMPUTE LOAD SHAPING USING VIRTUAL CAPACITY AND PREFERENTIAL LOCATION REAL TIME SCHEDULING

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for shaping compute load using virtual capacity. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a load forecast that indicates forecasted future compute load for a cell, obtaining a power model that models a relationship between power usage and computational usage for the cell, obtaining a carbon intensity forecast that indicates a forecast of carbon intensity for a geographic area where the cell is located, determining a virtual capacity for the cell based on the load forecast, the power model, and the carbon intensity forecast, and providing the virtual capacity for the cell to the cell. 方法、系统和装置，包括在计算机存储介质上编码的计算机程序，用于利用虚拟容量来对计算负载进行整形。在一个方面，一种方法包括以下操作：获取负载预测，该负载预测指示单体的预测的未来计算负载；获取电力模型，该电力模型对单体的电力使用和计算使用之间的关系进行建模；获取碳强度预测，该碳强度预测指示电池所在地理区域的碳强度预测；基于负载预测、电力模型和碳强度预测来确定单体的虚拟容量，并将单体的虚拟容量提供给单体。
