Abstract

Cloud computing is an emerging technology which involves the allocation and de-allocation of the computing resources using the internet. Task scheduling (TS) is one of the fundamental issues in cloud computing and effort has been made to solve this problem. An efficient task scheduling mechanism is always needed for the allocation to the available processing machines in such a manner that no machine is over or under-utilized. Scheduling tasks belongs to the category of NP-hard problem. Through this article, the authors are proposing a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based task scheduling mechanism for the efficient scheduling of tasks among the virtual machines (VMs). The proposed algorithm is compared using the CloudSim simulator with the existing greedy and genetic algorithm-based task scheduling mechanism. The simulation results clearly show that the PSO-based task scheduling mechanism clearly outperforms the others as it results in almost 30% reduction in makespan and increases the resource utilization by 20%.
