PiPower value of server i
CPUiComputing value of server i
CPUvjComputing value of VM j
Ui(F,t)Computing capacity utilization factor of server i as a function of placement “F” and time “t”Ui(F,t) = (CPU_utili)/(CPUi) [27]
Pi(F,t)Utilized power of ith serverTotal power consumption = ∑ Pi(F,t)
for i = 1 to N,
where Pi(F,t) = 0.7 Pi + (0.3 PiUi(F,t)) for ith server [27]
TvmjExecution time by jth VMs
