Abstract
Design of energy efficient load balancing models in cloud environments requires in-depth analysis of the cloud architecture and nature of requests served by the cloud. Depending upon these parameters, machine learning models are designed which aim at assigning best possible resource combination to serve the given tasks. This assignment varies w.r.t. multiple task and cloud parameters; which include task time, virtual machine (VM) performance, task deadline, energy consumption, etc. In order to perform this task, a wide variety of algorithms are developed by researchers cloud designers. Each of these algorithms aim at optimizing certain load balancing related parameters; for instance, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) designed for optimization of VM utilization might not consider task deadline before task allocation to the VMs. While, algorithms aimed at performing deadline aware load balancing might not provide effective cloud-to-task-mapping before allocation of tasks. Thus, it becomes difficult for researchers to select the best possible algorithms for their cloud deployment. In order to reduce this ambiguity, the underlying text compares different energy efficient cloud load balancing algorithms; and evaluates their performance in terms of computational complexity, and relative energy efficiency. This performance evaluation is further extended via inter architecture comparison; in order to evaluate the most optimum load balancer implementation for a given energy efficient application. Thus, after referring this text, researchers and cloud system designers will be able to select optimum algorithmic implementations for their given deployment. This will assist in reducing cloud deployment delay, and improving application specific load balancer performance.
