A Process Scheduling Algorithm Based on Threshold for the Cloud Computing Environment?

?Cloud is a technology which supports on-demand distribution of computer resources. Resources in the cloud environment are heterogeneous in nature and geographically distributed. Demand of a cloud user cannot be predicted as it may change dynamically on runtime. Therefore, resource management and the resource scheduling, in such a large-scale distributed environment, is a challenging task. In cloud computing, there are multiple resources and large number of users that can request for same set of resources at the same time. This duly justifies need of an algorithm that optimally schedules the cloud resources for different virtual machines. This paper presents new threshold based VM scheduling approach which calculates the threshold before allocating the VM to the host.
