Abstract

The scheduling of tasks in the cloud is a major challenge for improving resource availability and decreasing the total execution time and energy consumption of operations. Due to its simplicity, efficiency, and effectiveness in identifying global optimums, electric fish optimisation (EFO) has recently garnered a lot of interest as a metaheuristic method for solving optimisation issues. In this study, we apply electric fish optimisation (EAEFA) to the problem of cloud task scheduling in an effort to cut down on power usage and turnaround time. The objective is to finish all tasks in the shortest possible time, or makespan, taking into account constraints like resource availability and task dependencies. In the EAEFA approach, a school of electric fish is used to solve a multi-objective optimization problem that represents the scheduling of tasks. Because electric fish are drawn to high-quality solutions and repelled by low-quality ones, the algorithm is able to converge to a global optimum. Experiments validate EAEFA's ability to solve the task scheduling issue in cloud computing. The suggested scheduling strategy was tested on HPC2N and other large-scale simulations of real-world workloads to measure its makespan time, energy efficiency and other performance metrics. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed EAEFA method improves performance by more than 30% with respect to makespan time and more than 20% with respect to overall energy consumption compared to state-of-the-art methods.
