Prioritized Energy Efficient Resource Scheduling in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Resource scheduling in cloud computing is one of the impactful area of research. Cloud service providers maintain its efficacy through proper resource management schemes. Users experience seamless cloud services when cloud service provider manages its resources efficiently. Another aspect in resource management is energy efficient schemes. Energy efficiency largely depends on employment of minimum number of resource servers. This article discusses energy efficient resource scheduling mechanism on multi-layer prioritized resource requests. Resource requests are segregated into three categories and those are scheduled on resource servers based on their fast availability. The work focuses on scheduling resource requests on previously active servers as much as possible before activating any idle servers. Proposed scheduling scheme has been tested on a standard benchmark datasets and performance of the proposed method establishes its efficacy.*
