Energy-aware and Carbon-efficient VM Placement Optimization in Cloud Datacenters Using Evolutionary Computing Methods

One of the most important concerns of cloud service providers is balancing renewable and fossil energy consumption. On the other hand, the policy of organizations and governments is to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in cloud data centers. Recently, a lot of research has been conducted to optimize the Virtual Machine (VM) placement on physical machines to minimize energy consumption. Many previous studies have not considered the deadline and scheduling of IoT tasks. Therefore, the previous modelings are mainly not well-suited to the IoT environments where requests are time-constraint. Unfortunately, both the sub-problems of energy consumption minimization and scheduling fall into the category of NP-hard issues. In this study, we propose a multi-objective VM placement to joint minimizing energy costs and scheduling. After presenting a modified memetic algorithm, we compare its performance with baseline methods as well as state-of-the-art ones. The simulation results on the CloudSim platform show that the proposed method can reduce energy costs, carbon footprints, SLA violations, and the total response time of IoT requests.

Experiments show that our proposed architecture, which consists of an LSTM-based offloading technique and routing (LSTMOTR) algorithm, can efficiently decrease total task delay with growing data and subtasks, reduce energy consumption, and bring much security to the devices due to the firewall nature of LSTM.

Quantum computing formulation of some classical Hadamard matrix searching methods and its implementation on a quantum computer

Finding a Hadamard matrix (H-matrix) among all possible binary matrices of corresponding order is a hard problem that can be solved by a quantum computer. Due to the limitation on the number of qubits and connections in current quantum processors, only low order H-matrix search of orders 2 and 4 were implementable by previous method. In this paper, we show that by adopting classical searching techniques of the H-matrices, we can formulate new quantum computing methods for finding higher order ones. We present some results of finding H-matrices of order up to more than one hundred and a prototypical experiment of the classical-quantum resource balancing method that yields a 92-order H-matrix previously found by Jet Propulsion Laboratory researchers in 1961 using a mainframe computer. Since the exactness of the solutions can be verified by an orthogonality test performed in polynomial time; which is untypical for optimization of hard problems, the proposed method can potentially be used for demonstrating practical quantum supremacy in the near future.

A novel intuitionistic fuzzy correlation algorithm and its applications in pattern recognition and students’ admission process

Many computing methods have been studied in intuitionistic fuzzy environment to enhance the resourcefulness of intuitionistic fuzzy sets in modelling real-life problems, among which, correlation coefficient is prominent. This paper proposes a new intuitionistic fuzzy correlation algorithm via intuitionistic fuzzy deviation, variance and covariance by taking into account the complete parameters of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. This new computing technique does not only evaluates the strength of relationship between the intuitionistic fuzzy sets but also indicates whether the intuitionistic fuzzy sets have either positive or negative linear relationship. The proposed technique is substantiated with some theoretical results, and numerically validated to be superior in terms of performance index in contrast to some hitherto methods. Multi-criteria decision-making processes involving pattern recognition and students’ admission process are determined with the aid of the proposed intuitionistic fuzzy correlation algorithm coded with JAVA programming language.
