\begin{frame}\frametitle{Motivation}
	\begin{tcolorbox}[title=Context]
		Heterogeneous datacenter architectures are common~\cite{DBLP:conf/date/MilojicicFDR21} due to the end of Dennard's scaling~\cite{DBLP:image/48Microprocessor/Rupp}.
		Today, computational needs of AI drive managers to diversify datacenters even more~\cite{DBLP:journals/computer/AthavaleBBMMPS24}.
		In result datacenters become extremely complex and hard to operate.

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Problem Statement}
	\begin{tcolorbox}[title=We need effective tools to manage datacenters]
		To address the increasing datacenter complexity, Datacenter Digital Twins (DCDT) were proposed~\cite{DBLP:journals/computer/AthavaleBBMMPS24}.
		However, many DCDT's are not useful in practice, because they lack critical features (\emph{e.g.,} predictive analytics) native to the generic Digital Twin definition~\cite{DBLP:usdoe/report/AP26894}.

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Extra Slides: Societal Impact}
	\begin{tcolorbox}[title=Why is this research important today?]
		Over 3 million jobs in the Netherlands directly depend on cloud services, which are hosted in datacenters~\cite{DBLP:journals/corr/IosupKLVG22}.
		Already the rapid
		expansion of datacenters has increased the presence of service failures across all cloud
		services~\cite{DBLP:conf/acsos/TalluriOVTI21}.
		We need to act now.

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Extra Slides: Why Digital Twinning?}
	\begin{tcolorbox}[title=Definition]
		A DCDT mirrors the structure, context and behaviour of a datacenter~\cite{DBLP:journals/computer/AthavaleBBMMPS24}. The prerequisite to any digital twin is good monitoring and sensing capabilities in the physical entity.
		Datacenters meet this requirement easily because they already connect hundreds of monitoring sensors. 	\end{tcolorbox}

	\end{center}
	\tiny

	\textbf{Figure E.2:} Due to insufficient technological foundations,
	little work is available on DTs between 2003 and 2018, and it is only with the rapid growth
	of cloud computing, Internet-of-Things and Big Data analytics that DTs have reemerged~\cite{DBLP:conf/cirp/TAO2018169}.
	That is why nobody used digital twins to mirror datacenters earlier.

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Extra Slides: Why not pure simulation?}
	\begin{tcolorbox}[title=Predicting job failures]
		Preventing failure-caused outages in advance
		can reduce huge operational costs, as over 20\% of all reported outages amount to more than 1 million
		US\$~\cite{DBLP:report/AnnualOutageAnalysis2025}.
		Only a constant bi-directional interaction (digital twin $\iff$ physical entity) can achieve this.

% Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have high computation overhead, unsuitable for real-time simulation of a dynamic datacenter.
%Moreover oftentimes a poorly configured CFD model can lead to high error rates~\cite{DBLP:conf/sensys/WangZD0TCWZ20}.
%Data-driven Machine Learning performs poorly by the cases not covered in the training data.
