Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of virtual machine (VM) scheduling in the mobile cloud computing, a novel Bandwidth constrainted VM dynamic scheduling (BVMDS) algorithm considering wireless bandwidth constraints is proposed to improve the benefit of cloud providers. The proposed algorithm is implemented by 3 phases. Firstly, the proposed algorithm determines the winning users based on the bids of users by the auction mechanism. Secondly, it configures VMs according to the information reported by the winning bidder. Thirdly, the payment for the winning users is determined in terms of the critical payment. The experimental results show that this new scheduling algorithm effectively improves the benefit and the resource utilization of cloud providers.
