MORPHOSYS: efficient colocation of QoS-constrained workloads in the cloud

In hosting environments such as IaaS clouds, desirable application performance is usually guaranteed through the use of Service Level Agreements (SLAs), which specify minimal fractions of resource capacities that must be allocated for use for proper operation. Arbitrary colocation of applications with different SLAs on a single host may result in inefficient utilization of the host’s resources. In this paper, we propose that periodic resource allocation and consumption models be used for a more granular expression of SLAs. Our proposed SLA model has the salient feature that it exposes flexibilities that enable the IaaS provider to safely transform SLAs from one form to another for the purpose of achieving more efficient colocation. Towards that goal, we present MorphoSys: a framework for a service that allows the manipulation of SLAs to enable efficient colocation of workloads. We present results from extensive trace-driven simulations of colocated Video-on-Demand servers in a cloud setting. The results show that potentially-significant reduction in wasted resources (by as much as 60%) are possible using MorphoSys.First author draf

A Review On Green Cloud Computing

The objective of green computing is to reap monetary growth and enhance the way the computing devices are used. In large data centers computational offloading is main problem due to increased demand for timely and response for real time application which lead to high energy consumption by data centers, so the aim of green computing is to find energy efficient solution which monopolize optimal utilization of the available resources. Green IT methods comprises of environmentally viable management, energy efficient computers and enhanced recycling procedures. By using different algorithm and energy efficient scheduling power consumption of virtual machine can be minimize, this paper provide an overview of different algorithms and techniques which are used to move towards the green computing
