Abstract: A method of scheduling tasks includes receiving a plurality of application tasks info one or more queues of a green data center (GDC), and determining a service rate For a plurality of servers to process the plurality of application tasks in the GDC, via processing circuitry. The method also includes scheduling, via the processing circuitry, one or more of the application tasks to be executed in one or more of the servers at a rate according to a difference in an accumulated arriving rate for the plurality of application tasks into the one or more queues and a removal rate for the plurality of application tasks from the one or more queues; and removing the one or more application tasks from their associated queues For execution in the scheduled one or more servers.
