Service Cost Effective and Reliability Aware Job Scheduling Algorithm on Cloud Computing Systems

Nowadays, increasing number of services are provided to individuals and organizations through cloud computing systems in a pay-as-you-use model. This business service paradigm encounters several cloud Quality of Service (QoS) challenges, such as reliability, cost, and response time. The most common mechanism to improve cloud service reliability is a primary/backup (PB) faulttolerant technique. However, this reliability enhancement technique inevitably results in multiple replications, which lead to high service cost. In recognition of these challenges, we first build a cloud computing systems resources management architecture. Then, we analyze the cloud service execution reliability on the physical resources of a VM and used a CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture)enabled parallel two-dimensional long short-termmemory neural network to predict the software faults of a cloud VM. Third, we propose an effective primary/backup cloud service cost calculation approach. To overcome the cloud service response time constraint, we integrate a response time slack factor into this method. Fourth, we formulate the cloud service reliability and cost aware job scheduling problem, which aims at minimizing the total cloud service cost and rejection rate, and improving the systemreliability. Fifthly, a heuristic greedy reliability and cost aware job scheduling (RCJS) algorithm is proposed. Finally, a performance evaluation is conducted and the experimental results demonstrate that our proposed RCJS algorithm significantly outperforms optimal redundant VM placement (OPVMP), MIN-MIN algorithms in terms of average service cost and rejection rate. This algorithm also demonstrates good trade-off of reliability when compared to the other two algorithms and is suitable for cloud services with high reliability and low-cost requirements.
