- Abstract
Instead of upfront investment in infrastructure, many organizations have moved towards cloud computing to fulfill their computational resource needs, as cloud computing model provides ondemand, scalable resources on pay-as-you-go basis. In cloud computing, it is not possible to predict the volume of user requests in the future, so cloud computing models must be capable of handling thousands of concurrent user requests. An efficient load balancing technique plays an important role in distributing the workload evenly among the servers, so that no server is overloaded or underloaded. The paper proposes a load balancing and task scheduling algorithm, Dynamic VM Load Balancer (DVLB). While making a load balancing decision, DVLB takes both the server processing power and request (task) processing requirement into consideration. The algorithm is implemented using cloudsim 3.0.2 tool, and its performance is compared with two existing load balancing methods, Round Robin and Equally Spread Current Execution (ESCE) algorithm.
