Task scheduling is one of the most challenging aspects of cloud computing nowadays, and it plays an important role in improving overall performance in, and services from, the cloud, such as response time, cost, makespan, and throughput. A recent cloud task-scheduling algorithm based on the symbiotic organisms search (SOS) algorithm not only has fewer specific parameters, but also incurs time complexity. SOS is a newly developed metaheuristic optimization technique for solving numerical optimization problems. In this paper, the basic SOS algorithm is reduced, and chaotic local search (CLS) is integrated into the reduced SOS to improve the convergence rate. Simulated annealing (SA) is also added to help the SOS algorithm avoid being trapped in a local minimum. The performance of the proposed SA-CLS-SOS algorithm is evaluated by extensive simulation using the Matlab framework, and is compared with SOS, SA-SOS, and CLS-SOS algorithms. Simulation results show that the improved hybrid SOS performs better than SOS, SA-SOS, and CLS-SOS in terms of convergence speed and makespan.

This paper analyzes a blocking that is due to shared resource in multiprocessor system. A proposed analysis for shared resource suggests a scalable and amendable scheduling method about task allocation. An equation of shared resource blocking is proposed by a throughput at common bus and a ratio of throughput during time period, it is included a parameter of tasks scheduling. Using this equation, a new guideline for task allocation of multiprocessor is presented. Finally, in proposed system a model simulations for the proposed blocking model is given by a deterministic ratio of shared resource.

The performance of DHCS depends on the algorithm which schedules input DAG. However, as the task scheduling problem in DHCS is an NP-complete problem, heuristic approach has to be made. Task scheduling algorithm consists of task prioritizing phase and processor allocation phase, and most of studies are considering both phases together. In this paper, we focus on task prioritizing phase and propose a WPD algorithm which is optimized for task duplication based processor allocation method. For an evaluation of the proposed WPD algorithm, we combined WPD algorithm with processor allocation phase of HMPID, HCPFD, HCT algorithms, which are using task duplication based processor allocation method. The results show that WPD algorithm makes a better use of task duplication than conventional task prioritizing methods and provides 9.58% better performance than HCPFD algorithm, 1.31% than HCT algorithm.

In this paper, task scheduling and load balancing methods of multifrontal solution methods of finite element structural analysis in a modern multicore machine are introduced. Many structural analysis problems have generally irregular grid and many kinds of properties and materials. These irregularities and heterogeneities lead to bottleneck of parallelization and cause idle time to analysis. Therefore, task scheduling and load balancing are desired to reduce inefficiency. Several kinds of multithreaded parallelization methods are presented and comparison between static and dynamic task scheduling are shown. To reduce the idle time caused by irregular partitioned subdomains, computational load balancing methods, Balancing all tasks and minmax task pairing balancing, are invented. Theoretical and actual elapsed time are shown and the reason of their performance gap are discussed.

In this paper, we propose an efficient real-time scheduling method of multimedia tasks for decoding frames of MPEG-2 video streams. In our task model, each frame is decoded by a separate multimedia task. The decoding task for each frame is assigned to the priority according to the precedence and importance of frames in a video stream. We use a priority-based scheduling policy in order to effectively allocate the CPU bandwidth to multimedia tasks for MPEG-2 decoding. We show how to dynamically control the fraction of the CPU bandwidth allocated to each multimedia task according to the priority. The primary purpose of our scheduling method is to enhance the real-time performance of the multimedia system by minimizing the number of decoding tasks that have missed their deadlines while reducing the decoding times of these multimedia tasks. The performance of this scheduling method is compared with that of similar mechanisms through simulation experiments.

As the substantial increment in program complexity and appearance of mega program, the programs need to be divided to small tasks with multiple partitions and performed with a priority based scheduling. And also, a program development has to be progressed according to diversify of development environment. For instance, there are some restrictions upon O/S environment such as embedded O/S or windows. Therefore, the adaptive scheduling technique which performs multiple task partitioning process, regardless environment or O/S, is suggested. In this study, In this study, the adaptive scheduling technique algorithm and its applied examples are described.

The high-speed railway track occurs train operating result track irregularity, subsidence of the track, ballast abrasion. This is the unusual condition. High-speed railway track maintenance task is the behavior which repairs unusual section by using the human resource or machine resource. The resource used to maintenance task is restrictive. A resource can be efficiently used if the high-speed railway track maintenance scheduling is used. So the more task can be performed in the fit time. In conclusion, this manages the unusual condition of a track efficiently. So additional expenses is minimized cause by deteriorating unusual condition. And it offers comfortable ride to passenger. However, maintenance scheduling has to reflect well practical situation and environment. That's maintenance scheduling is used. We gather the opinions of the hands-on workers. So in this paper define field situation and condition. And suggest mathematical model about this. And we developed the track maintenance scheduling software engine using ILOG.

The task scheduling in multiprocessor system is one of the key elements in the effective utilization of multiprocessor systems. The optimal assignment of tasks to multiprocessor is, in almost practical cases, an NP-hard problem. Consequently algorithms based on various modern heuristics have been proposed for practical reason. This paper proposes a new task scheduling algorithm using Genetic Algorithm which combines simulated annealing (GA+SA) in multiprocessor environment. In solution algorithms, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and the simulated annealing (SA) are cooperatively used. In this method, the convergence of GA is improved by introducing the probability of SA as the criterion for acceptance of new trial solution. The objective of proposed scheduling algorithm is to minimize makespan. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is shown through simulation studies. In simulation studies, the result of proposed algorithm is better than that of any other algorithms.

Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMP) has emerged as an important and cost-effective platform for high performance parallel computing. Scheduling of parallel tasks and communications of SMP is important because the choice of a scheduling discipline can have a significant impact on the performance of the system. In this paper, we present a task duplication based scheduling scheme for bus-based SMP. The proposed scheme pre-allocates network communication resources so as to avoid potential communication conflicts. The performance of the proposed scheme has been observed by comparing the schedule length under various number of processors and the communication cost.

Energy-efficient task scheduling on multi-core server is a fundamental issue in green cloud computing. Multi-core processors are widely used in mobile devices, personal computers, and servers. Existing energy efficient task scheduling methods chiefly focus on reducing the energy consumption of the processor itself, and assume that the cores of the processor are controlled independently. However, the cores of some processors in the market are divided into several voltage islands, in each of which the cores must operate on the same status, and the cost of the server includes not only energy cost of the processor but also the energy of other components of the server and the cost of user waiting time. In this paper, we propose a cost-aware scheduling algorithm ICAS for computation intensive tasks on multi-core server. Tasks are first allocated to cores, and optimal frequency of each core is computed, and the frequency of each voltage island is finally determined. The experiments' results show the cost of ICAS is much lower than the existing method.
