| Abstract | Cloud computing is considered as one of the new technologies emerging in the world
today. It is a type of computing that relies on sharing computing and storage resources
rather than having local servers or even personal devices to handle applications.
However, cloud has its own set of disadvantages. One of the most important problems of
cloud is its energy consumption. In this context, this research focuses on reducing energy
consumption inside cloud datacenters by improving Round Robin (RR) server selection
algorithm.the intent of this research is not to improve network connectivity, or improve the
amount of data sharing but definitely to built a new algorithm that will help to save energy
in our network resources but more important we should clearly understand routers and
switches description, routers and switches structure, understand the energy consumption
model in network cases. We also have to evaluate the energy per-packet transmission and
per byte energy.
As the research have been done in servers, it is very important to know server selection
mode, to know the different kind of model we have like replication, dynamic server and
finally to study all kind of server selection algorithms and introduce my own algorithm.
For improving RR algorithm, this study has adapted the algorithm from Han et al., (2009).
Although their work was about improving response time of RR, this research focuses on
reducing its energy consumption by considering the number of hops. The proposed method
reduces number of packet transmission of tasks form datacenter contoller to servers to
improve datacenter energy consumption. |
