Performance Evaluation of Load Balancing Algorithms Using Cloud Analyst
Archana Kumari Singh, Rakesh Kumar · 2020
Today cloud computing is the trending technology and has been proven as a viable business model. We can see fastest growth in the recent years because of it's easy to access mechanism. As the number of cloud users are increasing exponentially, so to handle this, the concept of load balancing is needed to minimize the overhead and maximize the throughput on the cloud. In this paper, we analyze three cloud algorithms namely Round Robin, Throttled, Equally Spread Current Execution Load and their performance in terms of average response time, hourly data center response time and the cost of Virtual Machine (VM) etc. with the help of Cloud Analyst simulator. Cloud Analyst is the simulator which is best among all simulator for algorithm testing in cloud environment. Simulation results demonstrate that Throttled outperforms among these algorithms as number of users increases.
