A two-stage forecasting system is introduced for predicting CPU workload in private clouds. The model first forecasts customer service requests in Transactions Per Second (TPS) and then estimates future CPU usage from the TPS forecast, both stages using XGBoost within a cascaded architecture. Experiments on real private‑cloud traces show SMAPE below 7% for most applications, with the best case achieving an MAE of 0.7372 and an R² of 0.9185, and stable error accumulation over a 60‑step horizon.

The paper presents an LLM-based predictive scheduling system that forecasts execution time and energy consumption from source code, aiming to improve data center sustainability. By integrating these predictions into a real-time GPU allocation algorithm, the system reduces both energy use and queuing delays. In a collaboration with a data center, the approach achieved a 32% drop in energy consumption and a 30% reduction in waiting time.
