- Abstract
Increasing scale of task in cloud network leads to problem in load balancing and its improvement in parameters. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid scheduling policy which is hybrid of both Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and actor-critic algorithm named as Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization Actor Critic (HPSOAC) to solve this issue. This hybrid scheduling policy helps to each agent to improve an individual learning as well as learning through exchanging information among other agents. An experiment is carried out by the help of Python simulator with TensorFlow. Outcome shows that our proposed scheduling policy reduces 5.16% and 10.86% in energy consumption, reduces 7.13% and 10.04% in makespan time, and has marginally better resource utilization over Deep Q-network (DQN) and Q-learning based on Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (QMPSO) algorithm, respectively.
