Performance and Energy-Aware Bi-objective Tasks Scheduling for Cloud Data Centers
This addresses the problem of high energy costs and environmental impact for cloud service providers, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing evolutionary methods.
The paper tackles the challenge of balancing performance and energy consumption in cloud data centers by proposing a bi-objective optimization algorithm, achieving higher performance and lower energy consumption compared to a state-of-the-art method.
Cloud computing enables remote execution of users tasks. The pervasive adoption of cloud computing in smart cities services and applications requires timely execution of tasks adhering to Quality of Services (QoS). However, the increasing use of computing servers exacerbates the issues of high energy consumption, operating costs, and environmental pollution. Maximizing the performance and minimizing the energy in a cloud data center is challenging. In this paper, we propose a performance and energy optimization bi-objective algorithm to tradeoff the contradicting performance and energy objectives. An evolutionary algorithm-based multi-objective optimization is for the first time proposed using system performance counters. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated using a realistic cloud dataset in a cloud computing environment. Our experimental results achieve higher performance and lower energy consumption compared to a state of the art algorithm.
