1. A method comprising:
- determining, by one or more processors, an energy consumption need of a computing network;
determining, by one or more processors, an energy cost to power on and power off one or more nodes in the computing network;
lowering, by one or more processors, an energy consumption level of at least one or more nodes in the computing network based, at least in part, on the energy consumption need and the determined energy cost; and
raising, by one or more processors, the energy consumption level of at least one of the at least one or more nodes in the computing network in a dynamic response to a service request.

Abstract
One or more processors determine an energy consumption need of a computing network. One or more processors lower an energy consumption level of one or more nodes in the computing network based, at least in part, on the energy consumption need. One or more processors raise the energy consumption level of at least one of the one or more nodes in the computing network in a dynamic response to a service request.
