Study on fundamental usage of CloudSim simulator and algorithms of resource allocation in cloud computing

Abstract

Cloud computing is an internet-based pool of heterogeneous resources. The development of Cloud is scalable and reliable to make availability of resources when required to online users. Resources are provided as a service on demand with payment done on use basis. Nowadays, for less cost and maximize resource utilization, mainly computing is done on Cloud. Cloud simulator is a collection of java classes that provides simulation of concepts of cloud computing. Cloudlet scheduling is one of the most important task in cloud computing. This paper presents fundamental study on the functions of CloudSim simulator and provides tabulated view of various scheduling algorithms used in cloud environment with their parameters and results.
