Nonlinear Analysis of EDF Scheduling Framework for Resource Distribution in Cloud Computing

Abstract

In modern times, the field of information technology is significantly shifting towards cloud computing. This innovative technology involves the permanent storage of resources on servers, which clients access via the internet. Typically, a cloud comprises a collection of resources known as virtual machines, capable of managing both computational tasks and storage needs. As the demand for cloud services continues to rise, the scheduling of these resources presents a considerable challenge. Scheduling refers to the workflow management necessary to complete tasks within the system. An efficient scheduler adapts its scheduling policy dynamically in response to changing conditions and task requirements. Cloud computing represents a recently developed technology where resources, whether physical or virtual machines, are permanently stored on servers and accessed by users through the internet. The cloud offers various service models, including Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). In this context, IaaS refers to a set of resources, including virtual machines, that provide computational and storage services. Given the increasing adoption of cloud technology, resource scheduling has become a critical task. Hence, optimizing the scheduling of requests to ensure the best utilization of cloud resources is essential. This paper introduces a Nonlinear Analysis of EDF Scheduling Framework for resource allocation that considers deadlines and processing times when assigning resources to specific jobs. The performance metrics, including Average Turnaround Time, Average Waiting Time, and Average Deadline Violation, show a significant improvement when compared to traditional scheduling models such as First-Come, First-Served (FCFS), the Shortest Job First (SJF), and Simple Earliest Deadline First (EDF) models.
