Abstract

With increasing market competition among commercial cloud computing infrastructures, major cloud service providers are building co-located data centers to deploy online services and offline jobs in the same cluster to improve resource utilization. However, at present, related researches on the characteristics of co-location are still immature. Therefore, stable solutions for resource collaborative scheduling are still essentially absent, which restricts the further optimization of co-location technology. In this paper, we present performance prediction-based co-located task scheduling (PPCTS) model to perform fine-grained resource allocation under Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. PPCTS improves the overall cluster CPU resource utilization to 56.211%, which is competitive to the current related works. Besides, this paper fully implements a co-located system prototype. Compared with the traditional simulator-based scheduling research work, the prototype proposed in this paper is easier to be migrated to the real production environment.
