Energy-aware Load Balancing and Application Scaling for the Cloud Ecosystem

Energy-aware Load Balancing and Application Scaling                                             for the Cloud   Ecosystem

Abstract:
In this paper we introduce an energy-aware operation model used for load balancing and application scaling on a cloud. The basic philosophy of our approach is defining an energy-optimal operation regime and attempting to maximize the number of servers operating in this regime. Idle and lightly-loaded servers are switched to one of the sleep states to save energy. The load balancing and scaling algorithms also exploit some of the most desirable features of server consolidation mechanisms discussed in the literature.




















Existing System

            We also assume a clustered organization, typical for existing cloud infrastructure When the existing applications scale up above  of the capacity with all servers running then the cluster leader interacts with the leaders of other clusters to satisfy the requests. This case is not addressed in this paper.

Modules Description

Load balancing
The concept of load balancing" dates back to the time when the first distributed computing systems were implemented. It means exactly what the name implies, to evenly distribute the workload to a set of servers to maximize the throughput, minimize the response time, and increase the system resilience to faults by avoiding overloading the systems.
Idle servers
Idle and under-utilized servers contribute significantly to wasted energy, see Section survey  reports that idle servers contribute 11 million tons of unnecessary CO2 emissions each year and that the total yearly costs for idle servers is billion. An energy-proportional system consumes no energy when idle, very little energy under a light load, and gradually, more energy as the load increases.







Server consolidation:
              The term server consolidation is used to describe: switching idle and lightly loaded systems  to a sleep state; workload migration to prevent overloading of systems any optimization of cloud performance and energy efficiency  by redistributing the workload discussed in Section  For example, when deciding to migrate some of the VMs running on a server or to switch a server to a sleep state, we can adopt a conservative policy similar to the one advocated by autoscaling  to save energy. Predictive policies, such as the ones discussed in  will be used to allow a server to operate in a suboptimal regime when historical data regarding its workload indicates that it is likely to return to the optimal regime in the near future

Energy proportional systems:
The energy efficiency of a system is captured by the ratio performance per Watt of power." During the last two decades the performance of computing systems has increased much faster than their energy efficiency
Energy proportional systems. In an ideal world, the energy consumed by an idle system should be near zero and grow linearly with the system load. In real life, even systems whose energy requirements scale linearly, when idle, use more than half the energy they use at full load. Data collected over a long period of time shows that the typical operating regime for data center servers is far from an optimal energy consumption regime.
The dynamic range I s the dierence between the upper and the lower limits of the energy consumption of a system as a function of the load placed on the system. A large dynamic range means that a system is able to operate at a lower fraction of its peak energy when its load is low

CLOUD WORKFLOW SCHEDULING WITH DEADLINE AND TIME SLOT ALGORITHM

CLOUD WORKFLOW SCHEDULING WITH DEADLINE AND TIME SLOT ALGORITHM Abstract Allocating service capacities in cloud computing is based on the assumption that they are unlimited and can be used at any time. However, available service capacities change with workload and cannot satisfy users’ requests at any time from the cloud provider’s perspective because cloud services can be shared by multiple tasks. Cloud service providers provide available time slots for new user’s requests based on available capacities. In this paper, we consider workflow scheduling with deadline and time slot availability in cloud computing. An iterated heuristic framework is presented for the problem under study which mainly consists of initial solution construction, improvement, and perturbation. Three initial solution construction strategies, two greedy- and fair-based improvement strategies and a perturbation strategy are proposed. Different strategies in the three phases result in several heuristics. ...

MobiContext: A Context-aware Cloud-Based Venue Recommendation Framework

            MobiContext: A Context-aware Cloud-Based Venue Recommendation Framework ABSTRACT  In recent years, recommendation systems have seen significant evolution in the field of knowledge engineering. Most of the existing recommendation systems based their models on collaborative filtering approaches that make them simple to implement. However, performance of most of the existing collaborative filtering-based recommendation system suffers due to the challenges, such as: (a) cold start, (b) data sparseness, and (c) scalability. Moreover, recommendation problem is often characterized by the presence of many conflicting objectives or decision variables, such as users’ preferences and venue closeness. In this paper, we proposed MobiContext , a hybrid cloud-based Bi-Objective Recommendation Framework (BORF) for mobile social networks. The MobiContext utilizes multi-objective optimization techniques to generate personalized recommendat...
