Efficient Job Scheduling of Virtual Machines in Cloud Computing

Abstract: Cloud computing is based on the concepts of distributed computing, grid computing, utility computing and virtualization. It is a virtual pool of resources which are provided to users via Internet. Cloud computing service providers one of the goals is to use the resources efficiently and gain maximum profit. This leads to job scheduling as a core and challenging issue in cloud computing. In this research a discussion towards the resource management of virtual machines in cloud and how to make resources more efficiently available to clients is provided. The main focus is on job scheduling. In this present work, a parametric analysis is performed to identify the requirement of process migration and based on this analysis the migration will be performed on these processes. . The effectiveness of the work is identified in terms of successful execution of the processes within the time limits. A comparative study is also done using Matlab.

Keywords: Virtual machines, Matlab, Scheduling, and Migration.
