A new task scheduling algorithm based on value and time for cloud platform
Ling Kuang, Lichen Zhang · AIP conference proceedings · 2017
Tasks scheduling, a key part of increasing resource utilization and enhancing system performance, is a never outdated problem especially in cloud platforms. Based on the value density algorithm of the real-time task scheduling system and the character of the distributed system, the paper present a new task scheduling algorithm by further studying the cloud technology and the real-time system: Least Level Value Density First (LLVDF). The algorithm not only introduces some attributes of time and value for tasks, it also can describe weighting relationships between these properties mathematically. As this feature of the algorithm, it can gain some advantages to distinguish between different tasks more dynamically and more reasonably. When the scheme was used in the priority calculation of the dynamic task scheduling on cloud platform, relying on its advantage, it can schedule and distinguish tasks with large amounts and many kinds more efficiently. The paper designs some experiments, some distributed server simulation models based on M/M/C model of queuing theory and negative arrivals, to compare the algorithm against traditional algorithm to observe and show its characters and advantages.
