Energy-Aware Intelligent Computing Framework for Sustainable AI Workloads in Next-Generation Smart Systems

The intelligent computing infrastructures based on artificial intelligence (AI) have substantially increased the energy usage, lag times in computation, and costs of sustainability due to the exponential rise in the workloads. The classical models of workload management put much emphasis on predictive accuracy but ignore resource-awareness, with the net effect of inefficient usage of power and poor system responsiveness. This paper puts forward an Energy-Aware Hybrid CNN-LSTM-Transformer (EA-HCLT) architecture that would allow sustainable computing through the combination of workload prediction, smart scheduling and adaptive carving of model pruning to dynamic environments. The framework utilises workload prediction using hybrid learning/deep learning in real-time resource monitoring to optimally place computers to execute computations and also optimally use energy at maximum precision. As a validation of the effectiveness, EA-HCLT is compared to two popular models: Random Forest Workload Predictor (RF-WP) and Standard LSTM Scheduler (S-LSTM) based on the usage of synthetic workload and runtime workload datasets in terms of CPU, memory, network throughput, and accelerator utilisation. The overall analysis of the proposed approach in terms of accuracy, RMSE, latency, energy usage, sustainability index, and multi-objective cost reveal that the proposed solution provides a considerable improvement, yielding 14.8 percentage points higher accuracy, 19% reduced decision latency, 26.9% decreased energy usage, 17.5% higher sustainability index as opposed to S-LSTM. The results justify the supportability and scalability of the suggested EA-HCLT design and emphasise the significance of energy-conscious strategies of the next generation smart systems that are going to work within environmental and resource constraints.
