Zusammenfassung:A power management and data center resource monitoring mechanism is provided for selecting new processing elements in a data center. When a condition is detected for selecting new processing elements, one or more processing elements are selected as the new processing elements based on at least a temperature parameter and a usage history parameter of at least some of the processing elements in the data center. Workload is consolidated onto the new processing elements to conserve energy.
