METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE BY SUSPENSION OF JOBS

One aspect of the invention relates to a method for optimizing the energy consumption of a computing infrastructure comprising a plurality of compute nodes, each associated with a plurality of jobs, the method comprising the following steps:Receiving an energy consumption reduction request comprising an energy consumption reduction objective;Determining a set of jobs to be suspended, the set of jobs being determined based on the received energy consumption reduction objective;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 a suspension request, 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;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.
