Energy Aware Heuristic Scheduling of Variable Class Constraint Resources in Cloud Data Centres
K. Hemant Kumar Reddy, Geetika Mudali, Diptendu Sinha Roy · 2016
Energy consumption management in cloud data centres is a very challenging research issue at present and the growth in cloud data centres have only compounded this challenge. In this paper, we focus on minimizing energy consumption of datacentres assuming the placement of VMs in physical servers as a bin packing problem having variable class constraints. We propose two algorithms, namely an energy-aware heuristic VM placement algorithm and an energy aware live Migration algorithm with variable resource class constraints intact for current resources' status. This paper presents some simulations carried out to investigate the efficacy of the proposed algorithms and the results obtained demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme.
