Scheduling large-scale and resource-intensive workflows in cloud infrastructure is one of the main challenges for cloud service providers (CSPs). Cloud infrastructure is more efficient when virtual machines and other resources work up to their full potential. The main factor that influences the quality of cloud services is the distribution of workflow on virtual machines (VMs). Scheduling tasks to VMs depends on the type of workflow and mechanism of resource allocation. Scientific workflows include large-scale data transfer and consume intensive resources of cloud infrastructures. Therefore, scheduling of tasks from scientific workflows on VMs requires efficient and optimized workflow scheduling techniques. This paper proposes an optimised workflow scheduling approach that aims to improve the utilization of cloud resources without increasing execution time and execution cost.
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.
