And Performance

Cloud computing manages system resources such as processing, storage, and networking by providing users with multiple virtual machines (VMs) as needed. It is one of the rapidly growing fields that come with huge computational power for scientific workloads. Currently, the scientific community is ready to work over the cloud as it is considered as a resource-rich paradigm. The traditional way of executing scientific workloads on cloud computing is by using virtual machines. However, the latest emerging concept of containerization is growing more rapidly and gained popularity because of its unique features. Containers are treated as lightweight as compared to virtual machines in cloud computing. In this regard, a few VMs/containers-associated problems of performance and throughput are encountered because of middleware technologies such as virtualization or containerization. In this paper, we introduce the configurations of VMs and containers for cloud-based scientific workloads in order to utilize the technologies to solve scientific problems and handle their workloads. This paper also tackles throughput and efficiency problems related to VMs and containers in the cloud environment and explores efficient resource provisioning by combining four unique methods: hyperthreading (HT), vCPU cores selection, vCPU affinity, and isolation of vCPUs. The HEPSCPEC06 benchmark suite is used to evaluate the throughput and efficiency of VMs and containers. The proposed solution is to implement four basic techniques to reduce the effect of virtualization and containerization. Additionally, these techniques are used to make virtual machines and containers more effective and powerful for scientific workloads. The results show that allowing hyperthreading, isolation of CPU cores, proper numbering, and allocation of vCPU cores can improve the throughput and performance of virtual machines and containers.

The Cloud environment is a large pool of virtually available resources that perform thousands of computational operations in real time for resource provisioning. Allocation and scheduling are two major pillars of said provisioning with quality of service (QoS). This involves complex modules such as: identification of task requirement, availability of resource, allocation decision, and scheduling operation. In the present scenario, it is intricate to manage cloud resources, as Service provider aims to provide resources to users on productive cost and time. In proposed research article, an optimized technique for efficient resource allocation and scheduling is presented. The proposed policy used heuristic based, ant colony optimization (ACO) for well-ordered allocation. The suggested algorithm implementation done using simulation, shows better results in terms of cost, time and utilization as compared to other algorithms.

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.

In this paper, a self-adaptive load balancing technique is proposed using live migration of heterogeneous virtual machines (VM) in a Hyper-V based cloud environment. A cloud supported plugin as a management activity within the infrastructure as a service strategy. It is proposed to assist the load balancing process in such a way so that all hypervisors are almost equally loaded once the overload status gets triggered. In the cloud computing environment, load balancing plays a major role if the large number of events triggered has a high impact on the performance of the system. The efficiency of cloud computing is based on the efficient load balancing having a self-adjustable technique using live migration of VMs across clusters of nodes. The proposed load balancing model is efficient in performance improvement by efficient resource utilization and also it helps to avoid the situation occurrence of server hanging by the cause of server overload within the infrastructure of multiple Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisors environment.

Cloud computing is the most prominent established framework; it offers access to resources and services based on large-scale distributed processing. An intensive management system is required for the cloud environment, and it should gather information about all phases of task processing and ensuring fair resource provisioning through the levels of Quality of Service (QoS). Virtual machine allocation is a major issue in the cloud environment that contributes to energy consumption and asset utilization in distributed cloud computing. Subsequently, in this paper, a multiobjective Emperor Penguin Optimization (EPO) algorithm is proposed to allocate the virtual machines with power utilization in a heterogeneous cloud environment. The proposed method is analyzed to make it suitable for virtual machines in the data center through Binary Gravity Search Algorithm (BGSA), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). To compare with other strategies, EPO is energy-efficient and there are significant differences. The results of the proposed system have been evaluated through the JAVA simulation platform. The exploratory outcome presents that the proposed EPO-based system is very effective in limiting energy consumption, SLA violation (SLAV), and enlarging QoS requirements for giving capable cloud service.

Heterogeneous Cloud

Cloud computing, as a trend technology, has stemmed from the concept of virtualization. Virtualization makes the resources available to the public to use without any concern for ownership or maintenance cost. In addition, the hosted applications in cloud computing platforms are highly interactive and require intensive resources. The new trend is to duplicate these applications in multiple virtual machines based on demand. Such a scheme needs an efficient resource provisioning to manage the resource assignment to multiple virtual machines properly. One of the issues in the current resource provisioning technique is assigning the resources proactively without predicting the workload of hosted applications, which cause load imbalance and resource wasting. Thus, this paper proposes a new model to predict the application workload. The experimental results show the ability of the proposed model to allocate more virtual machines and to balance the workload among the physical machines.
