Abstract

Cloud computing provides an opportunity to gain access to the large-scale and high-speed resources without establishing your own computing infrastructure for executing the high-performance computing (HPC) applications. Cloud has the computing resources (i.e., computation power, storage, operating system, network, and database etc.) as a public utility and provides services to the end users on a pay-as-you-go model. From past several years, the efficient utilization of resources on a compute cloud has become a prime interest for the scientific community. One of the key reasons behind inefficient resource utilization is the imbalance distribution of workload while executing the HPC applications in a heterogenous computing environment. The static scheduling technique usually produces lower resource utilization and higher makespan, while the dynamic scheduling achieves better resource utilization and load-balancing by incorporating a dynamic resource pool. The dynamic techniques lead to increased overhead by requiring a continuous system monitoring, job requirement assessments and real-time allocation decisions. This additional load has the potential to impact the performance and responsiveness on computing system. In this article, a dynamic enhanced resource-aware load balancing algorithm (DE-RALBA) is proposed to mitigate the load-imbalance in job scheduling by considering the computing capabilities of all VMs in cloud computing. The empirical assessments are performed on CloudSim simulator using instances of two scientific benchmark datasets (i.e., heterogeneous computing scheduling problems (HCSP) instances and Google Cloud Jobs (GoCJ) dataset). The obtained results revealed that the DE-RALBA mitigates the load imbalance and provides a significant improvement in terms of makespan and resource utilization against existing algorithms, namely PSSLB, PSSELB, Dynamic MaxMin, and DRALBA. Using HCSP instances, the DE-RALBA algorithm achieves up to 52.35% improved resources utilization as compared to existing technique, while more superior resource utilization is achieved using the GoCJ dataset.
