Meeting deadlines is critical for delay-stringent Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This study proposes a joint flow scheduling and routing (JFSR) scheme to maximize jobs meeting deadlines in data center networks (DCNs).
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Network Engineering
- Cloud Computing
Background:
- Internet of Things (IoT) applications on cloud platforms often have strict latency and deadline requirements.
- Meeting these deadlines is crucial for Quality of Service (QoS) and revenue in delay-stringent applications.
- Efficient flow scheduling and routing in data center networks (DCNs) are key to reducing job execution times.
Purpose of the Study:
- To address the challenge of guaranteeing deadlines for multi-stage jobs in DCNs.
- To propose an efficient heuristic scheme that jointly optimizes flow scheduling and routing.
- To maximize the number of jobs that successfully meet their deadlines.
Main Methods:
- Formulated the joint flow scheduling and routing optimization problem for multi-stage jobs.
- Decomposed the intractable problem into inter-coflow and intra-coflow scheduling sub-problems.
- Developed an iterative coflow scheduling and routing (ICSR) algorithm for optimizing path and bandwidth allocation.
Main Results:
- The proposed joint flow scheduling and routing (JFSR) scheme effectively addresses deadline constraints.
- Simulation results demonstrate a significant increase in the number of jobs meeting their deadlines.
- The scheme successfully balances job scheduling and routing for improved performance.
Conclusions:
- The JFSR scheme offers an efficient solution for deadline-aware job scheduling in DCNs.
- This approach is vital for enhancing the reliability of delay-stringent IoT applications.
- The proposed method provides a practical strategy for optimizing resource utilization and performance in cloud-based IoT systems.
