DataCenterGym: A Physics-Grounded Simulator for Multi-Objective Data Center Scheduling

Nilavra Pathak, Nirmalya Roy, Samadrita Biswas

DataCenterGym is a Gymnasium-compatible simulator integrating compute queueing, building thermal dynamics, localized HVAC, and temperature-dependent degradation for multi-objective geo-distributed data center scheduling, demonstrated with an H-MPC algorithm that outperforms baselines.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We present DataCenterGym, a physics-grounded simulation environment for job scheduling in geo-distributed data centers... We also develop a Hierarchical Model Predictive Control (H-MPC) scheduling algorithm that performs distributed job placement while explicitly accounting for thermal and power dynamics. Through experiments on nominal operation and workload sensitivity, we demonstrate how H-MPC improves scheduling performance relative to baseline schedulers.

C2weakest assumption

The integrated models of compute queueing, building thermal dynamics, localized HVAC behavior, and temperature-dependent service degradation are sufficiently accurate representations of real geo-distributed data center physics to make simulation results transferable to practice.
