Cost and Energy Aware Nash Equilibrium Model for Resource Provisioning in Heterogeneous Cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing is an emerging technology that facilitates all the resources in an on-demand basis. The process of selecting, deploying and managing the hardware/software resources to ensure the application performance is defined as resource provisioning. In a heterogeneous cloud computing environment, various types of virtual machines are interconnected with each other to provide better computational capabilities. The auction is the process of buying or selling a product or service, by offering bids, taking some bids and selling to the highest bidder. In this proposed research work, the resource provisioning based on auction mechanism is implemented in heterogeneous cloud environment. Nash equilibrium algorithm is used to compare lowest ask and highest bid values. The resources are allocated to the jobs depends upon the matching results of the Nash Equilibrium algorithm. newline newline
