Virtual machine placement based on degradation factor ant colony algorithm
Yifan Ding, Guangzhong Liao, Siyuan Liu · 2018
Rational use of physical resources is the most important challenge in cloud computing. To accomplish this challenge, the system must take care of optimal mapping of virtual machines to a set of physical machines. In this paper, the authors address the mapping problem as a traveling salesman problem (TSP) and propose to apply degradation factor ant colony algorithm technique for optimal placing of virtual machines in the physical servers. The value of degradation factor has been calculated by resource waste model. Experimental results on Cloudsim simulation platform demonstrate that the proposed approach can achieve superior performance than the standard ant colony algorithm.
