1. INTRODUCTION
Cloud computing that works for the problem of dynamism. Dynamism is the demand keeps on
changing. Sharing resource is another advantage that helps the cloud providers to attain optimum
utilization of resources. The virtualization technique is to scale up and scale down the resources
according to the user demands in figure1.
Cloud computing provides packaged services. It provides that large scale data centers cuddled
with the cloud services, which results in consuming enormous energy with huge cost [15]. There
is a need for the cloud providers to build and manage for the low cost [12].several techniques
have been attempted to minimize the energy consumption such as virtual machine consolidation
and dynamic server provisioning [19].there were many techniques for the software problem and
the latest development for the hardware solutions are DVFS, power capping [12].renewable
energy aware service migration is mainly used to migrate services throughout the geographical
locations [8].IAAS-clouds that fully nucleus with the virtualization [10].

The real time tasks are executed in a timely deterministic manner and scalable [15]. It is
consider to serve real-time application is to be processed without buffering delays. The time
required for processing is measured in seconds.
A key feature of a real time task is the amount of time it takes to accept and complete
a task. A hard real-time task has less jitter than a soft real-time task. A real task that can
customarily meet a deadline is a soft real-time task, but if it can meet a
deadline deterministically it is a hard real-time task.
Objectives:
 To establish an enabling scheduling architecture for rolling-horizon optimization with
vertical scheduling operation.
 Dynamically adjust the virtual machines to save the energy.
 Cluster score values are recalculated even during the task is partially completed.
 Storage capacity of cluster resources is considered for the evaluation.
 Multiple a, b and c values are calculated for each sub task and then the cluster assignment
is effective than existing system.
 Replication method assists in faster task completion.
Contribution: The extensive contributions of this paper are as follows:
 We proposed a cluster scoring based task scheduling scheme by rolling-horizon
(RH) optimization, and we deployed an enabling scheduling architecture for
rolling-horizon optimization with vertical scaling.
 We established some policies for VMs‘ creation, migration and cancellation in
order to save the energy.
 We put forward a cluster scoring based task scheduling for real-time independent
tasks in a cloud.
The remaining paper is organized as follows: Section 2 presents overview, Section 3 presents the
related work, and Section 4 presents proposed work, section 5 conclusions and future work.

2. OVERVIEW
2.1 Energy –wear and tear
The catastrophic in cloud is energy sprawl. This is because of two reasons. Work overload and
improper scheduling [5, 10] is the major factor and next is due to the increment in monetary cost
of electricity [13]. The manual failure will be overcome by using virtualization and monitoring
[12]. Second problem would be resolved by harnessing the renewable energy [9]. The two
bulldoze in energy consumption problem are shown in Figure 2
Figure2. Bulldoze in energy consumption
2.1.1 Task Scheduling
The essential for cloud computing is task scheduling. Based on various parameters the task is to
be scheduled. It is used to finish the task on time and is responsible to improve flexibility in cloud
and reliability of systems in cloud. The tasks are uncertain, so scheduling is deployed to
overcome the uncertainty [15].
2.1.2 Virtualization
Virtualization technology which enables the creation, migration and cancellation of virtual
machines [5].when the task needs excess space, low and over utilization of resources leads to
migration. Virtualization enables the load balancing, consolidation, and hot spot mitigation [4]. It
allocates data center resources dynamically based on user needs and optimizing number of
servers to support green computing.
2.2 Real Time Tasks
Many applications are deployed in clouds with real time nature [15].real time tasks are not only
depends on the correctness it takes time instant on account. Missing deadlines will leads to the
severe consequences. The project work considers the real time tasks. The real time tasks are much
more important than the energy consumption problem.

3. RELATED WORK
3.1. Workload Consolidation
Srikantaiah et al. [22] have brought up the relationship between energy consumption and
resource. In a same while the act of workload consolidation were evaluated. According to the
Pareto frontier algorithm, the authors combined the tasks and balance energy consumption by
computing optimal points. Profiling step uses an energy aware resource allocation mechanism. It
resolves the bin packing and quadratic assignment problems.
3.2. Virtual Machine Power Metering
ChonglinGu et al. [12] used virtual machine power metering to measure the power consumption
of data centers. Virtual power metering has a following three steps such as information collection,
modelling, and estimation. Power meter is composed with internal and external meter. It has two
methods such as white box method and black box method. The black box method is in trend. The
virtual machine service billing, power budgeting, power saving scheduling is measured by the
power meter.
3.3. Energy Conservation Techniques
MehiarDabbaghet al. [22] have analysed power management techniques that reveal the
virtualization technology is used to save energy. The author considered the workload prediction,
virtual machine placement and workload consolidation. The unused physical machines are used
to save energy by Workload prediction. The overload problem is taken into account and resolved
by the virtual machine placement and workload consolidation .It achieves the green computing.
Energy savings can be obtained by turning number of servers into lower power state.
3.4. Virtual Machine Scheduling
Dong Jiankang et al. [20] virtual machine scheduling has the combo of vm placement and vm
migration. Virtual machine placement is to place the machine to finish the job on time .virtual
machine migration is to move the machines according to the workload. Algorithm is implemented
by c++.Compared to random algorithm the energy consumption is low. It considers the
parameters for evaluation are total communication traffic and maximum link utilization.
3.5. Renewable energy – aware migration
UttamMandalet al. [8] has deployed the virtual machine migration renewable energy aware cloud
service to adjust energy demand using resource allocation technique. Renewable energy is used in
the place of non renewable energy. By using the renewable energy reduces the carbon foot print
and greenhouse gas emission. It has an ability to replace the 40-50%0f brown energy by green
energy.
3.6. Tasks Oriented Energy-Aware Scheduling
Xiaomin Zhu et al. [15] have analyzed EARH algorithm. Algorithm employs energy aware
scheduling integrated with rolling horizon optimization policy. The real time controller and

virtual machine controller are composed in rolling horizon to hold new task along with the
waiting task. Resource scale up and scale down are taken into account by the algorithm. It was
implemented by cloudsim toolkit. The results indicate that improved the scheduling quality and it
conserves the energy.
3.7. Ant Colony System
FahimehFarahnakian et al. [19] used dynamic consolidation of virtual machines and live
migration. The virtual machine consolidation is based on the ant colony system. It have the
artificial ants to migrate the virtual machines. It have global and local agent. Consolidating virtual
machine into reduced number of physical machine by Global agent. The physical machine status
is detected by the Local agent. Cloudsim toolkit is used for implementation. The energy
consumption is reduced up to 53.4% by this technique.
3.8. Dynamic Resource Allocation
Zhen Xiao et al. [4] explained virtualization technology. Due to excess space capacity, hot spot
and load imbalance which migrates the machine. Virtualization enables the load balancing,
consolidation, and hot spot mitigation [4]. It allocates data center resources dynamically based on
user needs and optimizing number of servers to support green computing. The uneven utilization
of server is measured by the SKEWNESSS algorithm. Algorithm is simulated by trace driven
simulation. It achieves green computing.
3.9. Energy-Aware Scheduling
Li Hongyou et al. [6] have proposed the workload aware consolidation technique. Algorithm
focused to investigate the problem of consolidating heterogeneous workloads and it tries to
execute all virtual machines with fewer amounts of physical machines. When the machine is
under loaded it turnoff the unused physical servers. It focuses on the multi-dimensional resources.
Live migration algorithm to migrate the machines dynamically. cloudsim tool kit for simulation.
3.10. Energy-Aware Task Consolidation
Ching-Hsien Hsu et al. [11] have proposed a technique which minimizes energy consumption is
energy-aware task consolidation (ETC) technique. It restricts CPU use below a specified peak
threshold. The major work of ETC is Task consolidation. The task migration is considered as
network latency by energy cost model. For evaluation ETC is compared with the MAXUTIL.
MAXUTIL is aspires to maximize cloud computing resources and is greedy algorithm. The
simulation result shows that 17% improvement.
4. PROPOSED WORK
The proposed system which is illustrated in Figure 3 shows how the jobs are assigned to the
cluster of resources. Jobs can be divided into n number of jobs based on the data and computation
intensive. The task scheduler allocates the job by computing ATP, ACP to the cluster. If there is a
need for storage capacity and bandwidth in high rate to assign the job it divides into subtasks. The
cluster of resources includes CPU Available, Computation power (CP), CPU Speed, Load and
Memory Available.

Figure3. Work of the algorithm
Step 1: Cluster Details
In this module, the cluster id is given with ATP (Average Transmission Power) and ACP
(Average Computing Power) and CS (Cluster Score) value set to zero. The details are saved in
‗Cluster‘ table.
Step 2: Resource Collection
In this module, collecting the resource id, Resource Name, IPAddress, CPU MHz, CPU MHz
available, Load Percent, CP (available computing power) and Storage Capacity. The details are
saved in ‗Resources‘ table.
Step 3: Assign Cluster to Resource
In this module, the cluster id is fetched from ‗Clusters‘ table and resource id is retrieved from
‗Resource‘ table. The ‗Clusters_Resources‘ table hold the selected ids.
Step 4: Add Job
In this module, the job id, name, required RAM in MHz, required hard disk storage in MB, CPU
MHz and network bandwidth is keyed in and saved into ‗Jobs‘ table.
Step 5: Cluster Score Calculation for Data Intensive and Computation Intensive Strategy
In this module, the clustering score is calculated based on the following formula.
CSi =a. ATPi+ b. ACPi

7
Where,
CSi =cluster score which is computed by using the average transmission power and
average computing power.
a and b are the weightage value of ATP and ACP
Bandwidth_availablei,j is the available bandwidth between clusters
ACPi means the average available CPU power cluster i is provided for the job
ACP= {(CPU_speedk is the CPU speed of resource k in cluster i +
loadk is the current load of the resource k in cluster i,) /
n is the number of resources in cluster i}
CPk indicates the available computing power of resource k.
The transmission power and the computing power of a resource direct focus on the performance
of task execution. Task scheduling considers the two parameters for evaluation. Large bandwidth
in the resources of the same cluster on that time we have to consider the different bandwidth.
To adjust the score, Local update and global update are used. The task is to be obtained from the
user and it will be sub divided according to data intensive and computation intensive. Next is to
compute the ACP, ATP and CS. the task is allocated to high cluster score. After completing the
task the information server sends the alert to the user and recomputes the cluster score.
Step 6 Cluster Score Calculation with Storage Capacity
In addition with existing formula, the storage capacity is also calculated like Average
Transmission Power and so sum of a and b is 1. All other calculations are used in same scenario
as above module. The job is split into tasks with a and b values for each sub task. So one cluster
is assigned for one task and others cluster for other tasks. Likewise jobs are considered as replica
units and so more clusters are assigned for each task.
5. CONCLUSION AND FUTUREWORK
The proposed strategy to implement a cluster scoring method to schedule jobs in grid
environment. CSBTS selects the feasible resource to execute a job according to the status of
resources. Local and global update rules are applied to get the latest status of each resource. Local
update rule updates the status of the resource and select the cluster to execute the job and the Job
Scheduler uses the latest information to assign the next job. Global update gives the final
completion of tasks. The Job Scheduler supplies the latest information of all resources and
clusters such that the Job Scheduler can select the feasible resource for the next job.
Virtualization technology is to switch off the idle machines. Finally the project aims to reduce the
completion time and to harness an efficient energy. The future work is to implement this concept
in real time.
