AI-training workloads running in batch environments like Kubeflow or Kueue define a growing percentage of datacenter power use. We demonstrate a solution that reduces these demands by implementing a batch extension and a pod-scheduling algorithm to define and minimize the power resources required for a workload. We achieve this by using modern k8s extension features to guide the scheduler using a non-linear hardware model of power as a function of utilization and a measurement of the current utilization of node components. In addition, we apply power limits to components on the system which are underutilized based on a model of the power requirements for the running jobs. We integrate the underlying components in a cloud-native batch scheduling framework and extend it with additional power-awareness capabilities and batch-job power control knobs for the user.
