Energy-efficient virtual resource allocation algorithm has become a hot research topic in cloud computing. However, most of the existing allocation schemes cannot ensure each type of resource be fully utilized. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a virtual machine (VM) allocation algorithm on the basis of multi-dimensional resource, considering the diversity of user's requests. First, we analyze the usage of each dimension resource of physical machines (PMs) and build a D-dimensional resource state model. Second, we introduce an energy-resource state metric (PAR) and then propose an energy-aware multi-dimensional resource allocation algorithm called MRBEA to allocate resources according to the resource state and energy consumption of PMs. Third, we validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by real-world datasets. Experimental results show that MRBEA has a better performance in terms of energy consumption, SLA violations and the number of VM migrations.

With the increasing popularization of cloud computing, how to reduce physical energy consumption and increase resource utilization while maintaining system performance has become a research hotspot of virtual machine deployment in cloud platform. Although some related researches have been reported to solve this problem, most of them used the traditional heuristic algorithm based on greedy algorithm and only considered effect of single-dimensional resource (CPU or Memory) on energy consumption. With considerations to multi-dimensional resource utilization, this paper analyzed impact of multi-dimensional resources on energy consumption of cloud computation. A multi-dimensional resource constraint that could maintain normal system operation was proposed. Later, a novel virtual machine deployment method (NVMDM) based on improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) and Euclidean distance was put forward. It deals with problems like how to generate the initial particle swarm through the improved first-fit algorithm based on resource constraint (IFFABRC), how to define measure standard of credibility of individual and global optimal solutions of particles by combining with Bayesian transform, and how to define fitness function of particle swarm according to the multi-dimensional resource constraint relationship. The proposed NVMDM was proved superior to existing heuristic algorithm in developing performances of physical machines. It could improve utilization of CPU, memory, disk and bandwidth effectively and control task execution time of users within the range of resource constraint.

The location selection of virtual machines in distributed cloud is difficult because of the physical resource distribution, allocation of multi-dimensional resources, and resource unit cost. In this study, we propose a multi-object virtual machine location selection algorithm (MOVMLSA) based on group information, doubly linked list structure and genetic algorithm. On the basis of the collaboration of multi-dimensional resources, a fitness function is designed using fuzzy logic control parameters, which can be used to optimize search space solutions. In the location selection process, an orderly information code based on group and resource information can be generated by adopting the memory mechanism of biological immune systems. This approach, along with the dominant elite strategy, enables the updating of the population. The tournament selection method is used to optimize the operator mechanisms of the single-point crossover and X-point mutation during the population selection. Such a method can be used to obtain an optimal solution for the rapid location selection of virtual machines. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective in reducing the number of used physical machines and in improving the resource utilization of physical machines. The algorithm improves the utilization degree of multi-dimensional resource synergy and reduces the comprehensive unit cost of resources.

서버 가상화 기술에 의한 서버 통합은 효율적인 자원 사용에 따른 비용적인 장점이 있다. 그러나 하나의 물리적 장치에 여러 개의 서버가 가상머신으로 함께 동작함으로써 더욱 복잡한 부하특성을 가지게 되었다. 따라서 이를 해결하기 위한 효율적인 자원관리 방법이 요구된다. 이러한 문제에 대한 해결방법으로 제안된 것이 가상머신 이동(live migration)[1,2]을 이용한 가상머신 동적 재배치 기법이다[3,4]. 본 논문은 가상머신 동적 재배치 알고리즘에 있어서 각 자원요소(CPU, network I/O, memory)들의 활용률을 다차원 공간상에서 분석하여 조율함으로써 서버통합의 자원 효율성을 증가시키는 방법(Server consolidation optimizing algorithm)을 제안하고 있다. 실험을 위해서 여러 대의 통합서버와 수많은 서비스를 생성하여야 하는 어려움이 있기 때문에 본 논문에서는 기업환경에서의 서버 가상화 프로젝트 경험을 바탕으로 서버의 부하변화와 유사한 패턴의 모니터링 데이타들을 정의하여 수치적인 시뮬레이션을 통해 sandpiper[3]와 SCOA 알고리즘의 부하 균형에 대한 효율성을 비교하였다.
