Abstract: As Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud computing gains momentum, the efficient scheduling of different types of applications in such platforms is of great importance, in order to achieve good performance. In SaaS clouds the workload is usually complex and comprises applications with various degrees of parallelism and priority. Therefore, one of the major challenges is to cope with the case where high-priority real-time single-task applications arrive and have to interrupt other non-real-time parallel applications in order to meet their deadlines. In this case, it is required to effectively deal with the real-time applications, at the smallest resulting degradation of parallel performance. In this paper, we investigate by simulation the performance of strategies for the scheduling of complex workloads in a SaaS cloud. The examined workload consists of non-real-time applications featuring fine-grained parallelism (gangs) and periodic high-priority soft real-time single-task applications that can tolerate deadline misses by bounded amounts. We examine the impact of gang service time variability on the performance of the scheduling algorithms, by considering service demands that follow a hyper-exponential distribution. The simulation results reveal that the relative performance of the employed scheduling strategies depends on the type of the workload. (More)
