Energy Aware Computing Resource Allocation Using PSO in Cloud

In cloud computing, a large number of resources are used like data centers, servers, computing resources (VMs), and IoT devices. One of the key challenges in cloud computing is to provide energy-efficient resource management. In this resource management, energy is one of the key parameters which is to be resolved. Resources in the cloud are using a large amount of energy and sometimes energy is wasted, so these resources are needed to make energy efficient. Energy-efficient resource management techniques help in cost reduction and improving the life of data centers. This paper discusses energy management techniques used in cloud and proposes particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based VM allocation model to reduce energy consumption on hosts.
