Multidimensional QoS cloud computing resource scheduling method based on stakeholder perspective by Mingfeng SU, Guojun WANG, Renfa LI

“…A multidimensional cloud computing architecture is designed and a multidimensional cloud resource scheduling model is constructed based on the stakeholder perspective of cloud users and cloud service providers to meet the high QoS requirements of cloud users (such as task execution time and task completion time) with low computing costs (such as energy consumption,economic costs and system availability).For the second-level cloud resource scheduling,an MQoS cloud resource scheduling algorithm based on multiple Greedy algorithm is proposed.The experimental results show that under the four cloud computing application scenarios with no aftereffects,the MQoS cloud resource scheduling algorithm has an overall increase of 206.42%~228.99% and 34.26%~56.93 in terms of multidimensional QoS degree compared with FIFO and M2EC algorithms.It has an average overall reduction of 0.48~0.49 and 0.20~0.27 in terms of cloud data center load balance difference.…”
