Energy Efficient Task Scheduling in Cloud Computing

Although cloud computing has been widely adopted by the industry, but the research on cloud computing is still at an infancy stage. Energy management is one of the challenging research issues. Cloud Infrastructure is the most important component in a cloud. It may consists tens of thousands of servers, network disks and devices, and typically serve millions of users globally. Such a large-scale data center will consume enormous amount of energy. This research presents a new approach of differentiating different types of workloads. The cloudlets submitted to the cloud provider are executed in an energy efficient DVFS approach.
