Efficient Task Scheduling Algorithms for Cloud Computing Environment

Cloud Computing refers to the use of computing, platform, software, as a service. It’s a form of utility computing where the customer need not own the necessary infrastructure and pay for only what they use. Computing resources are delivered as virtual machines. In such a scenario, task scheduling algorithms play an important role where the aim is to schedule the tasks effectively so as to reduce the turnaround time and improve resource utilization. This paper presents two scheduling algorithms for scheduling tasks taking into consideration their computational complexity and computing capacity of processing elements. CloudSim toolkit is used for experimentation. Experimental results show that proposed algorithms exhibit good performance under heavy
