With ongoing energy shortages and rises in greenhouse emissions worldwide, increasing academic attention is being turned towards ways to improve the efficiency and sustainability of cloud computing. In this paper, we present a performance analysis and a system optimization of a cloud computing system with an energy efficient task scheduling strategy directed towards satisfying the service level agreement of cloud users while at the same time improving the energy efficiency in cloud computing system. In this paper, we propose a novel energy-aware task scheduling strategy based on a sleep-delay timer and a waking-up threshold. To capture the stochastic behavior of tasks with the proposed strategy, we establish a synchronous vacation queueing system combining vacation-delay and N-policy. Taking into account the total number of tasks and the state of the physical machine (PM), we construct a two-dimensional continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC), and produce an infinitesimal generator. Moreover, by using the geometric-matrix solution method, we analyze the queueing model in the steady state, and then, we derive the system performance measures in terms of the average sojourn time and the energy conservation level. Furthermore, we conduct system experiments to investigate the proposed strategy and validate the system model according to performance measures. Statistical results show that there is a compromise between the different performance measures when setting strategy parameters. By combining different performance measures, we develop a cost function for the system optimization. Finally, by dynamically adjusting the crossover probability and the mutation probability, and initializing the individuals with chaotic equations, we present an improved genetic algorithm to jointly optimize the sleep parameter, the sleep-delay parameter and the waking-up threshold.

Cloud computing is being heavily used for implementing different kinds of applications. Many of the client applications are being migrated to cloud for the reasons of cost and elasticity. Cloud computing is generally implemented on distributing computing wherein the Physical servers are heavily distributed considering both hardware and software, the connectivity among which is established through Internet. The cloud computing systems as such have many physical servers which contain many resources. The resources can be made to be shared among many users who are the tenants to the cloud computing system. The resources can be virtualized so as to provide shared resources to the clients. Scheduling is one of the most important task of a cloud computing system which is concerned with task scheduling, resource scheduling and scheduling Virtual Machin Migration. It is important to understand the issue of scheduling within a cloud computing system more in-depth so that any improvements with reference to scheduling can be investigated and implemented. For carrying in depth research, an OPEN source based cloud computing system is needed. OPEN STACK is one such OPEN source based cloud computing system that can be considered for experimenting the research findings that are related to cloud computing system. In this paper an overview on the way the Scheduling aspect per say has been implemented within OPEN STACK cloud computing system

Recently, mobile devices are becoming the primary platforms for every user who always roam around and access the cloud computing applications. Mobile cloud computing (MCC) combines the both mobile and cloud computing, which provides optimal services to the mobile users. In next-generation mobile environments, mainly due to the huge number of mobile users in conjunction with the small cell size and their portable information‟s, the influence of mobility on the network performance is strengthened. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient mobility management in mobile cloud computing (E2M2MC2) system for 5G heterogeneous networks. The proposed E2M2MC2 system use elective repeat multi-objective optimization (ERMO2) algorithm to determine the best clouds based on the selection metrics are delay, jitter, bit error rate (BER), packet loss, communication cost, response time, and network load. ERMO2 algorithm provides energy efficient management of user mobility as well as network resources. The simulation results shows that the proposed E2M2MC2 system helps in minimizing delay, packet loss rate and energy consumption in a heterogeneous network.

With the enlargement of the scope of cloud computing application, the number of users and types also increases accordingly, the special demand for cloud computing resources has also improved. Cloud computing task scheduling and resource allocation are key technologies, mainly responsible for assigning user jobs to the appropriate resources to perform. But the existing scheduling algorithm is not fully consider the user demand for resources is different, and not well provided for different users to meet the requirements of its resources. As the demand for quality of service based on cloud computing and cloud computing original scheduling algorithm, the computing power scheduling algorithm is proposed based on the QoS constraints to research the cloud computing task scheduling and resource allocation problems, improving the overall efficiency of cloud computing system.
