Priority Based Cooperative Computing in Cloud Using Task Backfilling

Abstract—Cloud computing is one of the most promising environments in the current computing scenario. Its applications are not only confined to the scientific arena, but it has been a dominating business enhancement technology for the last few years. The attachment of a big number of users at every instance of time to cloud causes the evolvement of a robust resource management system. Cloud users may request for the execution of real time as well as non-real time computing applications and therefore, they seek reliable and timely fulfillment of their submitted requests. This paper presents the algorithm to respond the users’ requests in cloud with high reliability and within the due amount of time. The algorithm utilizes the concept of Cooperative Computing System (CCS). Average task delay for a simulation session is used as the performance metric to evaluate the algorithm. Results show that the proposed algorithm gives promising results for the real time as well as non-real time dynamic workloads.

Index Terms—Cloud computing, cooperative computing system, reliability, fault tolerance, service priority, backfilling.
