Research on cloud computing resource allocation strategy based on improved ant colony algorithm

Abstract

In actual projects, it is found that if the ant colony algorithm is directly applied to cloud computing resource allocation, there will often be load imbalances, resulting in low resource utilization. And at the same time, the task completion time is too long, and the number of algorithm iterations is too large. This situation will not only greatly reduce the efficiency of the cloud computing system, but also cause system instability. Therefore, this article has made a series of improvements to the ant colony algorithm,including: the introduction of pseudo-random proportional rules, global pheromone enhancement, the introduction of cross mutation operations,and integration of ant colony algorithm and genetic algorithm. And then MATLAB simulation experiments are carried out.The experimental results show that the task completion time of the improved algorithm is shorter, the number of algorithm iterations is less, and the load balancing effect is better. From this, it can be concluded that the ant colony algorithm is better. The improvement is effective.
