An Optimized Task Scheduling Algorithm and Maintaining the Load in Cloud Environment

Nagashetty, Dr. Shiva Murthy G, Ramakrishna Prasad A.L

Abstract: Cloud provides convenient and on demand network access for computing resources available over internet. Individuals and organizations can access the software and hardware such as network, storage, server and applications which are located remotely easily with the help of Cloud Service. The tasks/jobs submitted to this cloud environment needs to be executed on time using the resources available so as to achieve proper resource utilization, efficiency and lesser makespan which in turn requires efficient task scheduling algorithm for proper task allocation. In this paper, we have introduced an Optimized Task Scheduling Algorithm which adapts the advantages of various other existing algorithms according to the situation while considering the distribution and scalability characteristics of cloud resources.

Keywords: Cloud Computing, Makespan, Minimum/ Maximum Execution Time, Completion Time, Load Balancing
