New algorithm cuts cloud computing costs by optimizing how servers share workloads
Researchers have developed a smarter way to distribute computing tasks across cloud data centers, reducing wasted processing power and energy use. The technique could help companies trim their cloud infrastructure bills while maintaining performance—a crucial advantage as enterprises face mounting pressure to control computing costs.

<p>In Cloud-based computing, job scheduling and load balancing are vital to ensure on-demand dynamic resource provisioning. However, reducing the scheduling parameters may affect datacenter performance due to the fluctuating on-demand requests. To deal with the aforementioned challenges, this research proposes a job scheduling algorithm, which is an improved version of a swarm intelligence algorithm. Two approaches, namely linear weight JAYA (LWJAYA) and chaotic JAYA (CJAYA), are implemented to improve the convergence speed for optimal results. Besides, a load-balancing technique is incorporated in line with job scheduling. Dynamically independent and non-pre-emptive jobs were considered for the simulations, which were simulated on two disparate test cases with homogeneous and heterogeneous VMs. The efficiency of the proposed technique was validated against a synthetic and real-world dataset from NASA, and evaluated against several top-of-the-line intelligent optimization techniques, based on the Holms test and Friedman test. Findings of the experiment show that the suggested approach performs better than the alternative approaches.</p>
