Location-Constrained Virtual Machine Placement (LCVP)‎ Algorithm

الملخص EN

Virtual machine (VM) placement is the current day research topic in cloud computing area.

In order to solve the problem of imposing location constraints on VMs to meet their requirements in the process of VM placement, the location-constrained VM placement (LCVP) algorithm is proposed in this paper.

In LCVP, each VM can only be placed onto one of the specified candidate physical machines (PMs) with enough computing resources and there must be sufficient bandwidth between the selected PMs to meet the communication requirement of the corresponding VMs.

Simulation results show that LCVP is feasible and outperforms other benchmark algorithms in terms of computation time and blocking probability.
