Claim 18:
19. A method for managing a datacenter comprising a plurality of racks, each rack having a plurality of servers, each server supporting execution of virtual machines, comprising:
storing, by a computer system comprising a processor and a storage device, a set of stored tables in a memory, which record rack performance characteristics with respect to energy consumption, rack utilization statistics, and rack environmental temperature;
providing, by the computer system, an ordered queue of tasks to be processed by the virtual machines;
predicting an impact of a new task in the ordered queue of tasks on the rack performance, rack energy consumption, rack utilization, and rack environmental temperature, with a computer implemented model, based on the set of stored tables; and
optimizing, by the computer system, a net energy efficiency of the plurality of racks and cooling systems for the plurality of racks while meeting a task processing quality of service constraint for the tasks and a thermal constraint with a scheduler, by controlling:
a sequence of, and a server employed by, the tasks in the ordered queue of tasks to meet the task processing quality of service constraint, and
cooling systems for cooling the plurality of racks in dependence on the sequence of tasks in the ordered queue of tasks prior to their execution, to meet predicted cooling needs to meet the thermal constraint.
