Scheduling Strategies

Current open issues regarding cloud computing include the support for nontrivial Quality of Service-related Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and reducing the energy footprint of data centers. One strategy that can contribute to both is the integration of accelerators as specialized resources within the cloud system. In particular, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) exhibit an excellent performance/energy consumption ratio that can be harnessed to achieve these goals. In this paper, a multilevel cloud scheduling framework is described, and several FPGA-aware node level scheduling strategies (applied at the hypervisor level) are explored and analyzed. These strategies are based on the use of a multiobjective metric aimed at providing Quality of Service (QoS) support. Results show how the proposed FPGA-aware scheduling policies increment the number of users requests serviced with their SLOs fulfilled while energy consumption is minimized. In particular, evaluation results of a use case based on a multimedia application show that the proposal can save more than 20% of the total energy compared with other baseline algorithms while a higher percentage of Service Level Agreement (SLA) is fulfilled.

This article describes how a rapid increase in usage of internet has emerged from last few years. This high usage of internet has occurred due to increase in popularity of multimedia applications. However, there is no guarantee of Quality of Service to the users. To fulfill the desired requirements, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) establish a service level agreement (SLA) with clients including specific parameters like bandwidth, reliability, cost, power consumption, etc. ISPs make maximum SLAs and decrease energy consumption to raise their profit. As a result, users do not get the desired services for which they pay. Virtual Software Defined Networks are flexible and manageable networks which can be used to achieve these goals. This article presents shortest path algorithm which improves the matrices like energy consumption, bandwidth usage, successful allocation of nodes in the network using VSDN approach. The results show a 40% increase in the performance of proposed algorithms with a respect to existing algorithms.

It has already been proven that VMs are over-utilized in the initial stages and are underutilized in the later stages. Due to the random utilization of the CPU, resources are sometimes heavily loaded whereas other resources are idle. Load imbalance causes service level agreement (SLA) violations resulting in poor quality of service (QoS) aided by the imperfect management of resources. An effective load balancing mechanism helps to achieve balanced utilization, which maximizes the throughput, availability, and reliability and reduces the response and migration time. The proposed algorithm can effectively minimize the response and the migration time and maximize reliability, and throughput. This research also helps to understand the load balancing policies and analysis of other research works.

<p>Quality of Service (QoS) is one of the most important parameters to be considered in computer networking and communication. The traditional network incorporates various quality QoS frameworks to enhance the quality of services. Due to the distributed nature of the traditional networks, providing quality of service, based on service level agreement (SLA) is a complex task for the network designers and administrators. With the advent of software defined networks (SDN), the task of ensuring QoS is expected to become feasible. Since SDN has logically centralized architecture, it may be able to provide QoS, which was otherwise extremely difficult in traditional network architectures. Emergence and popularity of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) have opened up even more possibilities in the line of QoS assurance. In this article, the focus has been mainly on machine learning and deep learning based QoS aware protocols that have been developed so far for SDN. The functional areas of SDN namely traffic classification, QoS aware routing, queuing, and scheduling are considered in this survey. The article presents a systematic and comprehensive study on different ML and DL based approaches designed to improve overall QoS in SDN. Different research issues & challenges, and future research directions in the area of QoS in SDN are outlined. <b></b></p>

There were scheduler studies for QoS(Quality of Service) or SLA(Service Level Agreement) of hard disks. The use of SSDs as storage has been increasing dramatically in recent systems due to their fast performance and low power usage. However, the studies to guarantee the SLA are based on the hard disk and do not consider SSD which is a ash storage device. In the SSD, GC(Garbae Collection) process copies data to an empty block and the corresponding block is removed by the GC. This causes SSD performance to degrade in a virtualized environment with many I/Os. We considered the Linux scheduler to take SSD characteristics into consideration and to improve I/O performance. In this paper, we propose a MTS-CFQ I/O scheduler that is implemented by modifying the existing Linux CFQ I/O scheduler. Our proposed method controls the time slice based on the I/O bandwidth for the current storage device. Real workload-driven simulation based experimental results have shown that MTS-CFQ can improve performance by up to 20% with an average of 5%, compared with the traditional CFQ I/O for the four workload considered.

Abstract Efficiently provisioning the resources in a large computing domain like cloud is challenging due to uncertainty in resource demands and computation ability of the cloud resources. Inefficient provisioning of the resources leads to several issues in terms of the drop in Quality of Service (QoS), violation of Service Level Agreement (SLA), over-provisioning of resources, under-provisioning of resources and so on. The main objective of the paper is to formulate optimal resource provisioning policies by efficiently handling the uncertainties in the jobs and resources with the application of Neutrosophic Soft-Set (NSS) and Fuzzy Neutrosophic Soft-Set (FNSS). The performance of the proposed work compared to the existing fuzzy auto scaling work achieves the throughput of 80% with the learning rate of 75% on homogeneous and heterogeneous workloads by considering the RUBiS, RUBBoS, and Olio benchmark applications.

Cloud computing technology has gained the attention of researchers in recent years. Almost every application is using cloud computing in one way or another. Virtualization allows running many virtual machines on a single physical computer by sharing its resources. Users can store their data on datacenter and run their applications from anywhere using the internet and pay as per service level agreement documents accordingly. It leads to an increase in demand for cloud services and may decrease the quality of service. This paper presents a priority-based selection of virtual machines by cloud service provider. The virtual machines in the cloud datacenter are configured as Amazon EC2 and algorithm is simulated in cloud-sim simulator. The results justify that proposed priority-based virtual machine algorithm shortens the makespan, by 11.43 % and 5.81 %, average waiting time by 28.80 % and 24.50%, and cost of using the virtual machine by 21.24% and 11.54% as compared to FCFS and ACO respectively, hence improving quality of service.
