Cloud computing is a powerful technology of computing which renders flexible services anywhere to the user. Resource management and task scheduling are essential perspectives of cloud computing. One of the main problems of cloud computing was task scheduling. Usually task scheduling and resource management in cloud is a tough optimization issue at the time of considering quality of service needs. Huge works under task scheduling focuses only on deadline issues and cost optimization and it avoids the significance of availability, robustness and reliability. The main purpose of this study is to develop an Optimized Algorithm for Efficient Resource Allocation and Scheduling in Cloud Environment. This study uses PSO and R factor algorithm. The main aim of PSO algorithm is that tasks are scheduled to VM (virtual machines) to reduce the time of waiting and throughput of system. PSO is a technique inspired by social and collective behavior of animal swarms in nature and wherein particles search the problem space to predict near optimal or optimal solution. A hybrid algorithm combining PSO and R-factor has been developed with the purpose of reducing the processing time, make span and cost of task execution simultaneously. The test results and simulation reveals that the proposed method offers better efficiency than the previously prevalent approaches.

Cloud Server

Resource allocation is one of the most important research topics in servers. In the cloud environment, there are massive hardware resources of different kinds, and many kinds of services are usually run on virtual machines of the cloud server. In addition, cloud environment is commercialized, and economical factor should also be considered. In order to deal with commercialization and virtualization of cloud environment, we proposed a user utility oriented queuing model for task scheduling. Firstly, we modeled task scheduling in cloud environment as anM/M/1 queuing system. Secondly, we classified the utility into time utility and cost utility and built a linear programming model to maximize total utility for both of them. Finally, we proposed a utility oriented algorithm to maximize the total utility. Massive experiments validate the effectiveness of our proposed model.

Optimal Machine

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.
