Abstract

Resource management is one of the main issues in Cloud Computing. In order to improve resource utilization of large Data Centers while delivering services with higher QoS to Cloud Clients, a resource allocation strategy based on market (RAS-M) is proposed. Firstly, the architecture and the market model of RAS-M are constructed, in which a QoS-refection utility function is designed according to different resource requirements of the Cloud Client, the equilibrium state of RAS-M is defined and the proof of its optimality is given. Secondly, GA-based price adjusted algorithm is introduced to deal with the problem of achieving the equilibrium state of RAS-M. Finally, RAS-M is implemented upon Xen to reallocate the VM’s weight. Experiments results obtained by setting different parameters show that RAS-M can achieve the equilibrium state approximately, that is, demand and supply is balanced nearly, which validates RAS-M is effective and practicable, and is capable of achieving its goal.
