Abstract With the rapid growth in demand for distributed computing, data centers are a critical physical component of the “cloud.” Recent studies show that the energy consumption of data centers for both cooling and computing keeps increasing, and the growth in server power densities makes it ever more challenging to keep the servers below their maximum operating temperature. This paper presents a new dynamic load-balancing approach based on individual server central processing unit (CPU) temperatures. In this approach, a load balancer assigns a task in real time to a server based on the objective to keep the CPU temperatures below a maximum value. Experimental studies are conducted in a single rack based on production workload traces of Google clusters. This study also compares the performance of this method with two other load balancing approaches, Round Robin, and a CPU utilization-based method in terms of temperature distributions, local fan rotation speeds, system loads, and server processing times. Furthermore, we investigate how the effect of the proposed load balancing changes with different assumed applications run on servers. The results indicate that this new method can more effectively reduce both server CPU temperatures and local fan rotation speed in a rack especially for the most of web applications.

Cloud computing is gaining more popularity due to its advantages over conventional computing. It offers utility based services to subscribers on demand basis. Cloud hosts a variety of web applications and provides services on the pay-per-use basis. As the users are increasing in the cloud system, the load balancing has become a critical issue. Scheduling workloads in the cloud environment among various nodes are essential to achieving a better Quality of Service (QOS). It is a prominent area of research as well as challenging to allocate the resources with changeable capacities and functionality. In this paper, a load balancing algorithm using Multi Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) has been developed by utilizing the benefits of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Proposed approach aims to minimize the task overhead and maximize the resource utilization in a homogenous cloud environment. Performance comparisons are made with Genetic Algorithm (GA), Multi GA, PSO and other popular algorithms on different measures like makespan calculation and resource utilization.
