Claim 19:
20. A system for managing a datacenter comprising a plurality of racks, each rack having a plurality of servers, each server supporting execution of virtual machines, comprising:
a computer system comprising a processor and a storage device;
a set of stored tables, which record actual rack energy/performance characteristics, rack utilization statistics, and rack environmental temperature, wherein the respective servers of the plurality of servers have controllable energy/performance characteristics;
an ordered queue of tasks to be processed by the virtual machines;
a computer implemented model configured to predict an impact of execution, on a respective virtual machine, of a new task in the ordered queue of tasks on the rack energy/performance characteristics, rack utilization statistics, and rack environmental temperature, based on the set of stored tables; and
a scheduler, configured to optimize an energy required for operation 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, by controlling:
a sequence of, and a server employed for, execution of the tasks in the ordered queue of tasks to meet the task processing quality of service constraint, and
cooling systems for 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.
