4 A. Descrpton and Scenaro End users of cloud computng hope cloud servce provders can offer hgh qualty cloud envronments that satsfy ther ndvdual requrements. Cloud computng servce provders wsh to maxmze ther resource utlzaton, whle maxmzng ther profts. To make effcent use of ther cloud computng system resources whle ensurng those resources avalablty to the end users, servce provders need to adopt a sutable load balance technque. Hence, to provde an effcent cloud servce to users whle maxmzng proft margns at the same tme s mperatve to cloud servce provders. 4

5 A. Descrpton and Scenaro (Cont d) We proposed a generc mathematcal programmng model that can be used for developng an algorthm for allocatng resources and vrtual machnes. The algorthm smulates the roles of the cloud servce provder and users n a cloud computng system. The Lagrangean Relaxaton Method was adopted here to obtan the optmal soluton for the problem of allocaton. 5

Some users vrtual machnes should not be n the same physcal machne due to prvacy consderatons. The CPU core capablty of each physcal machne vares. The number of vrtual machnes each user needs vares. 7

17 Lagrangean Relaxaton (Cont d) The Lagrangean multplers μ 1, μ 2, μ 3, μ 4, μ 5, μ 6, μ 7, μ 8, μ 9, μ 10, μ 11 3 are the vectors of {μ 1 }, {μ 2 jk }, {μ jklm }, {μ 4 l }, {μ 5 k }, {μ 6 k }, {μ 7 k }, {μ 8 k }, {μ 9 l }, {μ 10 j } and {μ 11 jkl }, respectvely, where μ 1, μ 2, μ 3, μ 4, μ 5, μ 6, μ 7, μ 8, μ 9, μ 10, μ 11 are non-negatve. In order to solve (LR 1), t s decomposed nto four ndependent and easly solvable subproblems, as shown below. 17

18 Subproblem 1.1 related to decson varable y : Z y w sub 1 1 sub1.1 ( ) mn ( ) ( 1.1) D Subject to: y 0or 1, D ( sub 1.1.1) 18

19 Lagrangean Relaxaton (Cont d) Subproblem 1.1 (sub 1.1) s further decomposed nto D ndependent mnmzaton subproblems. In Subproblem 1.1 (sub 1.1), decson varable y has two optons. The y can be decded by examnng the coeffcent γ + μ 1 w. When γ + μ 1 w s negatve or zero, we set y to 1. Otherwse, we set y to 0. The tme complexty of Subproblem 1.1 (sub 1.1) s O( D ). 19

20 Subproblem 1.2 related to decson varable t jk : Z t P sub sub1.2 (, ) mn jk ( k jk k ) k k ( 1.2) D j W k S k S Subject to: t 0, D, j W, k S ( sub 1.2.1) jk 20

21 Lagrangean Relaxaton (Cont d) Subproblem 1.2 (sub 1.2) can be further decomposed to D W S subproblems. Ths subproblem can be smply and optmally solved by examnng the coeffcent of decson varable t jk. If the coeffcent μ 5 k μ 2 jk π k s negatve or zero, the value of t jk s set the bggest value; conversely, f μ 5 k μ 2 jk π k s bgger than zero, t jk s set to zero. The tme complexty of Subproblem 1.2 (sub 1.2) s O( D W S ). 21

22 Subproblem 1.3 related to decson varable x jk : Z sub1.3(,,,,,,, ) mn ( xjk jk xjk pj k mj xjk k hj xjk k xjk j xjk j ) D j W k S ( x x ) ( x x a 1) 11 3 jkl jl kl jklm D j W k W l S D j W k D l W m S k jm klm jkl ( km k kh k kvk) ( sub 1.3) k S Subject to: x jk = 0 or 1, D, j W, k S ( sub 1.3.1) 22

23 Lagrangean Relaxaton (Cont d) In order to solve the subproblem 1.3 (sub 1.3), we frst reformulate (sub 1.3) by applyng [1], as shown below.

25 Lagrangean Relaxaton (Cont d) In Subproblem 1.3 (sub 1.3 ), decson varable x jk has two optons. As a result, the value of x jk can be determned by applyng exhaustve search. The tme complexty of Subproblem 1.3 (sub 1.3 ) s O( D W S ). 25

26 Subproblem 1.4 related to decson varable f jkl : Z c f c f sub1.4(,, ) mn ( l jk jkl l jk (1 jkl )) l S D j W, k W, k j c ( f 1) ( B B ) ( sub 1.4) 11 4 S 9 jkl jkl l k l D j W k W l S l S Subject to: f 0or 1, D, j W, k W, l S ( sub 1.4.1) jkl 26

27 Lagrangean Relaxaton (Cont d) Subproblem 1.4 (sub 1.4) can be optmally solved through analyzng the composton of (sub 1.4). When σ l S σ D σ j W,k W,j k(μ l 4 c jk f jkl + μ l 9 c jk (1 f jkl )) of subproblem 1.4 (sub 1.4) has mnmum value and σ D σ j W σ k W σ l S μ 11 jkl (f jkl + 1) σ l S (μ 4 l B S k + μ 9 l B c ) of subproblem 1.4 (sub 1.4) has maxmum value, (sub 1.4) s mnmzed. The tme complexty of Subproblem 1.4 (sub 1.4) s O( D W W S ). 27

28 Gettng Prmal Feasble Solutons By applyng Lagrangean Relaxaton method, a theoretcal lower bound on prmal objectve functon can be found. Moreover, t provdes some suggestons for obtanng prmal feasble solutons. However, the result of the dual problem may be nvald to the orgnal problem snce some mportant and complex constrants are relaxed. Therefore, a heurstc s needed here to tune nfeasble solutons feasble. In order to obtan prmal feasble solutons and an upper bound of (IP 1), the outcome of (LR 1) and Lagrangean multplers are used as hnts for dervng solutons. The concept of the proposed heurstc s descrbed below. 28

29 Gettng Prmal Feasble Solutons (Cont d) Recall that subproblem 1.1 s related to decson varable y, whch determnes whether the user s admtted by cloud servce provder or not. The concept used to develop a Drop and Add Heurstc to obtan prmal feasble solutons by droppng and addng users to cloud envronment. Intally, we check whether the outcome of (LR 1) can satsfy all constrants of (IP 1). If one of the constrants of (IP 1) s not satsfed, Drop and Add Heurstc wll be used. There are two steps n Drop and Add Heurstc and the frst step s droppng step. 29

30 Gettng Prmal Feasble Solutons (Cont d) The man purpose of the droppng step s to drop users one by one through adjustng the number of users or partcular users we admt. By usng the hnt provded by subproblem 1.1, we propose three strateges. In the frst strategy, subproblem 1.1 has the mnmum value when μ 1 w s mnmzed. Hence, we drop the bggest μ 1 w one after another. In the second strategy, once γ has the smallest value, the subproblem 1.1 can obtan the optmal soluton. Therefore, we drop the bggest γ one by one. The thrd strategy s smlar to the frst and second strategy. When γ + μ 1 w s mnmzed, subproblem 1.1 s also mnmzed. As a result, we drop the bggest γ + μ 1 w one after another. 30

31 Gettng Prmal Feasble Solutons (Cont d) The droppng process keeps droppng users sequentally accordng the gven strateges mentoned above, and t stops whle all the decson varables meet the constrans of (IP 1). The process n droppng step reallocates the remanng users VMs as much centralzed as possble (on the same physcal machne) under the premse that all constrans of (IP 1) are met. Ths reduces the severty of nternal fragmentaton, and we named such process as compresson. 31

32 Gettng Prmal Feasble Solutons (Cont d) When we drop users sequentally, the degree of volaton of constrants are also reduced. However, when the number of users s decreased, the rewards are also reduced. So, when we reduce the number of users that satsfy all constrants of (IP 1), we should consder about admttng more users to gan more rewards. 32

33 Gettng Prmal Feasble Solutons (Cont d) The second step of Drop and Add Heurstc s addng step. There are also three strateges. The frst strategy consders the rewards that users gve to cloud servce provder. We add users wth the bggest reward one by one. In the second strategy, the cloud servce provder has to spend resources for admttng users nto cloud envronment. Consequently, we admt users who has the smallest requrement one after another. At last, we use the net proft to decde the order of admttng users. The users wth the bggest net profts are added nto our system one by one. 33

34 Gettng Prmal Feasble Solutons (Cont d) The addng process consders the resource lmts of physcal machnes and the upper lmt of VM nstances. When the gven constrans are met, the cloud servce provder allocates the VM j of user on physcal machne k, and check over all constrans of (IP 1). Then executes these actons repeatedly untl all constrans of (IP 1) are satsfed. Every user requests wll perform the compresson process to mnmze nternal fragmentaton. 34
