Optimal Resource Scheduling for IaaS Cloud Computing using Cuckoo Search Algorithm

Abstract

Effective resource scheduling is essential for the overall performance of cloud computing system. Resource scheduling problem in IaaS cloud computing is investigated in this paper. It is established to be an NP-hard problem. A recently developed Cuckoo Search (CS) meta-heuristic algorithm is proposed in this paper, to minimize the response time, makespan and throughput for the resource scheduling in IaaS cloud computing. Simulation results show that CS algorithm outperforms that of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm based on the considered parameters.
