Abstract Cloud computing has taken over the high-performance distributed computing area, and it currently provides on-demand services and resource polling over the web. As a result of constantly changing user service demand, the task scheduling problem has emerged as a critical analytical topic in cloud computing. The primary goal of scheduling tasks is to distribute tasks to available processors to construct the shortest possible schedule without breaching precedence restrictions. Assignments and schedules of tasks substantially influence system operation in a heterogeneous multiprocessor system. The diverse processes inside the heuristic-based task scheduling method will result in varying… More >

Abstract Cloud computing plays a significant role in Information Technology (IT) industry to deliver scalable resources as a service. One of the most important factor to increase the performance of the cloud server is maximizing the resource utilization in task scheduling. The main advantage of this scheduling is to maximize the performance and minimize the time loss. Various researchers examined numerous scheduling methods to achieve Quality of Service (QoS) and to reduce execution time. However, it had disadvantages in terms of low throughput and high response time. Hence, this study aimed to schedule the task efficiently… More >

Abstract Owing to massive technological developments in Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud environment, cloud computing (CC) offers a highly flexible heterogeneous resource pool over the network, and clients could exploit various resources on demand. Since IoT-enabled models are restricted to resources and require crisp response, minimum latency, and maximum bandwidth, which are outside the capabilities. CC was handled as a resource-rich solution to aforementioned challenge. As high delay reduces the performance of the IoT enabled cloud platform, efficient utilization of task scheduling (TS) reduces the energy usage of the cloud infrastructure and increases the income… More >

Abstract Task scheduling in highly elastic and dynamic processing environments such as cloud computing have become the most discussed problem among researchers. Task scheduling algorithms are responsible for the allocation of the tasks among the computing resources for their execution, and an inefficient task scheduling algorithm results in under-or over-utilization of the resources, which in turn leads to degradation of the services. Therefore, in the proposed work, load balancing is considered as an important criterion for task scheduling in a cloud computing environment as it can help in reducing the overhead in the critical decision-oriented process.… More >

Abstract In cloud computing (CC), resources are allocated and offered to the clients transparently in an on-demand way. Failures can happen in CC environment and the cloud resources are adaptable to fluctuations in the performance delivery. Task execution failure becomes common in the CC environment. Therefore, fault-tolerant scheduling techniques in CC environment are essential for handling performance differences, resource fluxes, and failures. Recently, several intelligent scheduling approaches have been developed for scheduling tasks in CC with no consideration of fault tolerant characteristics. With this motivation, this study focuses on the design of Gorilla Troops Optimizer Based… More >

Abstract The developments of multi-core systems (MCS) have considerably improved the existing technologies in the field of computer architecture. The MCS comprises several processors that are heterogeneous for resource capacities, working environments, topologies, and so on. The existing multi-core technology unlocks additional research opportunities for energy minimization by the use of effective task scheduling. At the same time, the task scheduling process is yet to be explored in the multi-core systems. This paper presents a new hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) with a krill herd (KH) based energy-efficient scheduling technique for multi-core systems (GAKH-SMCS). The goal of… More >
