SchedCD: A scheduling algorithm for cloud computing in data centers

Designing a scheduling algorithm for data centers is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm for cloud computing in data centers. A major feature of the proposed scheduling algorithm is that it determines the schedulability of incoming tasks before scheduling them. The performance of the proposed scheduling algorithm is evaluated through extensive simulations. We evaluate the impact of the number of tasks and the size of the workload on the energy consumed by a data center.
