Energy-Aware VM Initial Placement Strategy Based on BPSO in Cloud Computing

الملخص EN

In recent years, high energy consumption has gradually become a prominent problem in a data center.

With the advent of cloud computing, computing and storage resources are bringing greater challenges to energy consumption.

Virtual machine (VM) initial placement plays an important role in affecting the size of energy consumption.

In this paper, we use binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm to design a VM placement strategy for low energy consumption measured by proposed energy efficiency fitness, and this strategy needs multiple iterations and updates for VM placement.

Finally, the strategy proposed in this paper is compared with other four strategies through simulation experiments.

The results show that our strategy for VM placement has better performance in reducing energy consumption than the other four strategies, and it can use less active hosts than others.
