RAS: A novel approach for dynamic resource allocation

Abstract

With ever changing user requirements the ways of computing have changed. Presently, cloud can be seen as a computing model that can cope with these changes as it gave access to unlimited amount of resources. But with time this myth has changed, leading to situations even when the cloud also falls short of resources. It thus becomes evident that appropriate resource allocation needs to done in order to sustain effective functioning of the cloud environment. To overcome this problem the concept of Resource Allocation System (RAS) was introduced in order to provision and maintain resources in an optimized manner. In this paper, we present our own resource allocation system that works on the principles of dynamic resource allocation. We propose an algorithm that states the working of RAS and defines how resources are allocated dynamically. The algorithm is implemented using the CloudSim simulator. Finally, we conclude by depicting the working of our algorithm and display the simulated results.
