Cloud computing is experiencing a rapid development since a large amount of data need to be addressed. How to carry on the reasonable task scheduling plays a vital role in the efficiency of cloud computing. This paper proposes a green cloud task-scheduling algorithm (GCTA) based on the improved binary particle swarm optimization(BPSO). The main contribution of our work is avoiding matrix operations by using pipelined number for virtual machines and redefining the position and velocity of particle. Simulation shows that the proposed GCTA has less execution time, and reduces resource consumption accordingly.
