Heterogeneous Resource Allocation Strategies in Elastic Cloud

Cloud computing deals with computation, software, data access and storage services. The main goal of cloud computing is to make a better use of distributed resources, combine them to achieve higher throughput and be able to solve large scale computation problem. In elastic cloud, user's demand changes dynamically so proper resource allocation and scheduling is necessary. Efficient and effective resource allocation and scheduling are the basis for excellent performance of clouds, because all the quality of service constraints, like throughput, maximum efficiency, response time and power consumption are mainly dependent on the mechanism of heterogeneous resource allocation and scheduling.
