Cloud computing plays an important role in enhancing the effective sharing of resources in virtual machines. Scheduling and load balancing are the two common concepts that cloud computing relies on ensuring that a prescribed task is assigned to the most appropriate virtual machine. Also, cloud computing should have the ability to handle multiple independent tasks that are arriving and execute them in the same or multiple nodes. In a heterogeneous environment, static and dynamic scheduling plays an important role by enhancing the allocation of tasks to the appropriate resources to satisfy the internet users' requests and making cloud computing technology more efficient. This work aims to evaluate and discuss important algorithms that will help improve the load balancing performance of cloud systems.

The emerging cloud computing technology is the attention of both commercial and academic spheres. Generally, the cost of the faster resource is more than the slower ones, therefore, there is a trade-off between deadline and cost. In this paper, the authors propose a receiver initiated deadline aware load balancing strategy (RDLBS) which tries to meet the deadline of the requests and optimizes the rate of revenue. RDLBS balances the load among the virtual machines (VMs) by migrating the request from the overloaded VMs to underloaded VMs. Turnaround time is also computed for the performance evaluation. The experiments are conducted by using CloudSim simulator and results are compared with existing state of art algorithms with similar objectives.

The evolution of IT led Cloud computing technology emerge as a new prototype in providing the services to its users on rented basis at any time or place. Considering the flexibility of cloud services, innumerable organizations switched their businesses to the cloud technology by setting up more data centers. Nevertheless, it has become mandatory to provide profitable execution of tasks and appropriate  resource utilization. A few approaches were outlined in literature to enhance performance, job scheduling, storage resources, QoS and load distribution. Load balancing concept permits data centers to avert over-loading or under-loading in virtual machines that as such is an issue in cloud computing domain. Consequently, it necessitate the researchers to layout and apply a proper load balancer for cloud environment. The respective study represents a view of problems and threats faced by the current load balancing techniques and make the researchers find more efficient algorithms.

Cloud computing is Internet based development and use of computer technology. It is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. Scheduling is one of the core steps to efficiently exploit the capabilities of heterogeneous computing systems. On cloud computing platform, load balancing of the entire system can be  dynamically handled  by  using  virtualization  technology through which it  becomes  possible  to  remap  virtual  machine  and physical resources  according  to  the  change  in  load. However, in order to improve performance, the virtual machines have to fully utilize its resources and services by adapting to computing environment dynamically.  The  load balancing  with  proper  allocation  of  resources  must  be guaranteed  in  order  to  improve  resource  utility.

Load balancing of non-preemptive independent tasks on virtual machines (VMs) is an important aspect of task scheduling in clouds. Whenever certain VMs are overloaded and remaining VMs are under loaded with tasks for processing, the load has to be balanced to achieve optimal machine utilization. In this paper, we propose an algorithm named honey bee behavior inspired load balancing, which aims to achieve well balanced load across virtual machines for maximizing the throughput. The proposed algorithm also balances the priorities of tasks on the machines in such a way that the amount of waiting time of the tasks in the queue is minimal. We have compared the proposed algorithm with existing load balancing and scheduling algorithms. The experimental results show that the algorithm is effective when compared with existing algorithms. Our approach illustrates that there is a significant improvement in average execution time and reduction in waiting time of tasks on queue using workflowsim simulator in JAVA.

Emerging cloud computing technology is a big step in virtual computing. Cloud computing provides services to clients through the internet. Cloud computing enables easy access to resources distributed all over the world. Increase in the number of the population has further increased the challenge. The main challenge of cloud computing technology is to achieve efficient load balancing. Load balancing is a process of assigning load to available resources in such a way that it avoids overloading of resources. If load balancing is performed efficiently, it improves QoS metric including cost, throughput, response time, resource utilization and performance. Efficient load balancing techniques also provide better user satisfaction. Various load balancing algorithms are used in different scenarios for ensuring the same. In the current research, we will study different algorithms for load balancing and benefits and limitations caused to the system due to the algorithms. In this paper, we will compare static and dynamic load balancing algorithms for various measures of efficiency. These will be useful for future research in the concerned field. 


Cloud computing is a research trend which bring various cloud services to the users. Cloud environment face various challenges and issues to provide efficient services. In this paper, a novel Genetic Algorithm based load balancing algorithm has been implemented to balance the load in the network. The literature review has been studied to understand the research gap. More specifically, load balancing technique authenticate the network by enabling Virtual Machines (VM). The proposed technique has been further evaluated using the Schedule Length Runtime (SLR) and Energy consumption (EC) parameters. Overall, the effective results has been obtained such as 46% improvement in consuming the energy and 12 % accuracy for the SLR measurement. In addition, results has been compared with the conventional approaches to validate the outcomes.
