Resource allocation (RA) is a significant aspect of Cloud Computing. The Cloud resource manager is responsible to assign available resources to the tasks for execution in an effective way that improves system performance, reduce response time, lessen makespan and utilize resources efficiently. To fulfil these objectives, an effective Tasks Scheduling algorithm is required. The standard Max-Min and Min-Min Task Scheduling algorithms are not able to produce better makespan and effective resource utilization. In this paper, a Resource-Aware Min-Min (RAMM) Algorithm is proposed based on basic Min-Min algorithm. The proposed RAMM Algorithm selects shortest execution time task and assigns it to the resource which takes shortest completion time. If minimum completion time resource is busy, then the RAMM Algorithm selects next minimum completion time resource to reduce waiting time of the task and improve resource utilization. The experiment results show that the proposed RAMM Algorithm produces better makespan and load balance than Max-Min, Min-Min and improved Max-Min Algorithms.

Purpose Cloud users can access services at anytime from anywhere in the world. On average, Google now processes more than 40,000 searches every second, which is approximately 3.5 billion searches per day. The diverse and vast amounts of data are generated with the development of next-generation information technologies such as cryptocurrency, internet of things and big data. To execute such applications, it is needed to design an efficient scheduling algorithm that considers the quality of service parameters like utilization, makespan and response time. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a novel Efficient Static Task Allocation (ESTA) algorithm, which optimizes average utilization. Design/methodology/approach Cloud computing provides resources such as virtual machine, network, storage, etc. over the internet. Cloud computing follows the pay-per-use billing model. To achieve efficient task allocation, scheduling algorithm problems should be interacted and tackled through efficient task distribution on the resources. The methodology of ESTA algorithm is based on minimum completion time approach. ESTA intelligently maps the batch of independent tasks (cloudlets) on heterogeneous virtual machines and optimizes their utilization in infrastructure as a service cloud computing. Findings To evaluate the performance of ESTA, the simulation study is compared with Min-Min, load balancing strategy with migration cost, Longest job in the fastest resource-shortest job in the fastest resource, sufferage, minimum completion time (MCT), minimum execution time and opportunistic load balancing on account of makespan, utilization and response time. Originality/value The simulation result reveals that the ESTA algorithm consistently superior performs under varying of batch independent of cloudlets and the number of virtual machines’ test conditions.

Cloud computing is provides resource allocation which facilitates the cloud resource provider responsible to the cloud consumers. The main objective of resource manager is to assign the dynamic resource to the task in the execution and measures response time, execution cost, resource utilization and system performance. The resource manager is optimizing the resource and measure the completion time for assign resource. The resource manager is also measure to execute the resource in the optimal way to complete the task in minimum completion time. The virtualization is techniques mandatory to allocate the dynamic resource depends on the users need. There are also green computing techniques involved for enhanced the no of server. The skewness is basically used to enhance the quality of service using the various parameters. The proposed algorithms are considered to allocate the cloud resource as per the users requirement. The advantage of proposed algorithm is to view the analysis of cpu utilization and also reduced the memory usage.

As cloud resource demand grows, supply chain management (SCM), which is the core function of cloud computing, faces serious challenges. Quite a number of techniques have been proposed by many researchers for such a challenge. As such, numerous proposed strategies are still under reckoning and modification so as to enhance its potential. An optimized dynamic scheme that combined several algorithms' characteristics was proposed to map out such a challenge. The hybridized proposed scheme involved the meta-heuristic swarm mechanism of ant colony optimization (ACO) and deterministic spanning tree (SPT) algorithm as it obtained faster convergence chain, ensured resource utilization in least time and cost. Extensive experiments conducted in cloudsim simulator provided an efficient result in terms of minimized makespan time and throughput as compared to SPT, round robin (RR), and pre-emptive fair scheduling algorithm (PFSA) as it significantly improves performance.

The basic concept of cloud computing is based on “Pay per Use”. The user can use the remote resources on demand for computing on payment basis. The on-demand resources of the user are provided according to a Service Level Agreement (SLA). In real time, the tasks are associated with a time constraint for which they are called deadline based tasks. The huge number of deadline based task coming to a cloud datacenter should be scheduled. The scheduling of this task with an efficient algorithm provides better resource utilization without violating SLA. In this chapter, we discussed the backfilling algorithm and its different types. Moreover, the backfilling algorithm was proposed for scheduling tasks in parallel. Whenever the application environment is changed the performance of the backfilling algorithm is changed. The chapter aims implementation of different types of backfilling algorithms. Finally, the reader can be able to get some idea about the different backfilling scheduling algorithms that are used for scheduling deadline based task in cloud computing environment at the end.

Market-oriented reverse auction is an efficient and cost-effective method for resource allocation in cloud workflow systems since it can dynamically allocate resources depending on the supply-demand relationship of the cloud market. However, during the auction the price of cloud resource is usually fixed, and the current resource allocation mechanisms cannot adapt to the changeable market properly which results in the low efficiency of resource utilization. To address such a problem, a dynamic pricing reverse auction-based resource allocation mechanism is proposed. During the auction, resource providers can change prices according to the trading situation so that our novel mechanism can increase the chances of making a deal and improve efficiency of resource utilization. In addition, resource providers can improve their competitiveness in the market by lowering prices, and thus users can obtain cheaper resources in shorter time which would decrease monetary cost and completion time for workflow execution. Experiments with different situations and problem sizes are conducted for dynamic pricing-based allocation mechanism (DPAM) on resource utilization and the measurement of Time⁎Cost (TC). The results show that our DPAM can outperform its representative in resource utilization, monetary cost, and completion time and also obtain the optimal price reduction rates.

In the grid environment, there are a large number of grid resources scheduling algorithms. According to the existing Min-Min scheduling algorithm in uneven load, and low resource utilization rate, we put forward the LoBa-Min-Min algorithm, which is based on load balance. This algorithm first used Min-Min algorithm preliminary scheduling, then according to the standard of reducing Makespan, the tasks on heavy-loaded resources would be assigned to resources that need less time to load balance, raise resource utilization rate, and achieve lesser completion time. At last, we used benchmark of instance proposed by Braun et al. to prove feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm.


There are a huge number of nodes connected to web computing to offer various types of web services to provide cloud clients. Limited numbers of nodes connected to cloud computing have to execute more than a thousand or a million tasks at the same time. So it is not so simple to execute all tasks at the same particular time. Some nodes execute all tasks, so there is a need to balance all the tasks or loads at a time. Load balance minimizes the completion time and executes all the tasks in a particular way.There is no possibility to keep an equal number of servers in cloud computing to execute an equal number of tasks. Tasks that are to be performed in cloud computing would be more than the connected servers. Limited servers have to perform a great number of tasks.We propose a task scheduling algorithm where few nodes perform the jobs, where jobs are more than the nodes and balance all loads to the available nodes to make the best use of the quality of services with load balancing.
