Cuckoo Search Algorithm

Abstract— Task Scheduling in the Cloud Computing Based on the Cuckoo Search Algorithm. Cloud computing is the latest emerging trend in distributed computing, where shared resources are provided to end-users in an on demand fashion that brings many advantjuages, including data ubiquity, flexibility of access, high availability of resources, and flexibility. The task scheduling problem in Cloud computing is an NP-hard problem. Therefore, many heuristics have been proposed, from low level execution of tasks in multiple < Final Year Projects 2016 >processors to high level execution of tasks. In this paper, a new evolutionary algorithm is proposed which named CSA to schedule the tasks in Cloud computing. CSA algorithm is based on the obligate brood parasitic behavior of some cuckoo species in combination with the Lévy flight behavior of some birds and fruit flies. The simulation results demonstrated that when the value of Pa is low, the speed and coverage of the algorithm become very high.
