This article is designed to solve the problem of system load imbalance and low efficiency introduced by massive parallel tasks running on some heavy nodes in the Cloud Computing environment. This study proposes a load balancing algorithm based on virtual machine migration which includes load balancing architecture, load gathering, load monitoring, load forecasting, migration trigger time, source machine selecting and etc. Experimental results based on the CloudSim tool reveal that the algorithm can guarantee load balancing and improve the performance of the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
