Abstract

This paper proposes a task scheduling algorithm called AKAM(Adaptive KNN and Adaptive Min-min), which can improve the real-time performance and energy consumption of cloud resource scheduling and allocation. The proposed AKAM based on Min-min task scheduling algorithm and KNN algorithm. Firstly, the Qos requirements contained in the user request task are applied to the KNN algorithm to select the appropriate resources for the task. Secondly, based on Min-min algorithm, we establish task slack and virtual machine threshold to complete task scheduling. Simulation results show the efficiency of AKAM.
