PSO-Based Ensemble Meta-Learning Approach for Cloud Virtual Machine Resource Usage Prediction

Abstract

To meet the increasing demand for its services, a cloud system should make optimum use of its available resources. Additionally, the high and low oscillations in cloud workload are another significant symmetrical issue that necessitates consideration. A suggested particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based ensemble meta-learning workload forecasting approach uses base models and the PSO-optimized weights of their network inputs. The proposed model employs a blended ensemble learning strategy to merge three recurrent neural networks (RNNs), followed by a dense neural network layer. The CPU utilization of GWA-T-12 and PlanetLab traces is used to assess the method’s efficacy. In terms of RMSE, the approach is compared to the LSTM, GRU, and BiLSTM sub-models.
