Task scheduling in the cloud data center is an optimization problem that aims to improve the resource utilization and hence reduces the response time. It faces challenges in assigning tasks to a suitable virtual machine such as throughput, waiting time and degree of imbalance. This paper presents a multi-objective algorithm for task scheduling problem based a novel M/M/N optimization model. The goal is to identify the optimal task scheduling strategy that 1) decreases response time by minimizing the volume of pending requests; 2) mitigates performance degradation by maintaining the service level agreement (SLA) at the desired standard; and 3) enhances load balancing by ensuring servers operate at optimal utilization levels. The results show that the proposed algorithm has better results in response time, throughput and load imbalance when compared to other existing algorithms.Downloads
