Abstract

Due to on-demand services for online resources like processing power, storage, software, infrastructure, etc., provided by cloud computing, it becomes incredibly popular today. So, intensity of Web data is increasing day by day. To balance the load of different nodes is the biggest challenge in this era. Load balancing method makes sure that no any node is over utilized or underutilized. It is considered to be an optimization problem. This paper proposes a genetic algorithm-based task scheduling for load balancing. The proposed strategy is simulated using cloud analyst. The results demonstrate that proposed method is better than existing algorithm like Round Robin (RR), Equally Spread Current Execution Load algorithm (ESCELEA) and Throttled algorithm (TA).
