Multi Objective Task Scheduling Algorithm in Cloud Computing Using the Hybridization of Particle Swarm Optimization and Cuckoo Search

Rapid growth has been occurred in the IT industry with the emergence of Cloud computing in terms of the resources provisioned to the users in a seamless and flexible way. Task Scheduling is a prodigious challenge in the Cloud Computing. It is difficult to schedule the continuously varying requests to schedule on continuously varying resources. The existing approaches haven’t considered all the metrics while considering only the metrics like makespan and waiting time. In this paper, our focus is to formulate a Multi objective approach which is used to optimally map and load balance the tasks in the cloud by calculating the task priority and VM priority based on the electricity price per unit cost while minimizing the makespan, migration time and the power cost in the datacenters. The proposed algorithm is modeled using the hybridized approach by combining PSO and Cuckoo search algorithms. It is simulated on cloudsim simulator and it is compared against the basic ACO, GA, PSO and CS algorithms and our algorithm is outperformed against these basic algorithms with concerned parameters such as makespan, Migration time and the Total Power cost in the datacenters.
