A multi-core makespan model for parallel scientific workflow execution in cloud computational framework

Abstract

Researchers have shown a lot of potential in optimizing cloud-based workload-scheduling over the past few years. However, executing scientific workloads inside the cloud is time-consuming and costly, making it inefficient from both a financial and productivity standpoint. As a result, there are many investigations conducted, with the general trend being to speed up the rate of processing and establish a cost-effective system, whereby customers are billed according to their actual use. In addition, energy-consumption is capable of being reduced, especially if the available resources are heterogeneous; however, few investigations have optimized multi-core with analyzing makespan parameters collectively to fulfill the quality of service (QoS) and service level agreement (SLA) of the workload task. In this research, we introduce an optimal scheduling for a heterogeneous distributed cloud computing environment called task aware makespan optimized scheduler (TAMOS) that guarantees requirements across the task levels of scientific workflows. The energy and time required to carry out specific workflows are significantly reduced by using this TAMOS strategy. The TAMOS framework was studied using the scientific workflows namely, inspiral and sipht. When compared to the conventional method of scheduling work, our methodology used less energy and makespan.
