Abstract

Efficient task scheduling strategy in cloud environment plays a vital role. Because the size of computing tasks and the time of arrival to the cloud are uncertain, and users tend to have certain expectations in the respect of carrying out the tasks, how to allocate computing resources reasonably for task scheduling is an important problem while satisfying the users’ expectations. Combining the idea of greedy algorithm, this paper presents a task scheduling algorithm named UTS. UTS adopts user satisfaction degree model as the evaluation criteria for task scheduling. Comparing with RR, max-min and min-min scheduling policies by simulation using CloudSim, experimental results show that UTS is a more effective task scheduling algorithm.
