CloudBench: an integrated evaluation of VM placement algorithms in clouds [PDF]
A complex and important task in the cloud resource management is the efficient allocation of virtual machines (VMs), or containers, in physical machines (PMs). The evaluation of VM placement techniques in real-world clouds can be tedious, complex and time-consuming. This situation has motivated an increasing use of cloud simulators that facilitate this

Release-time aware VM placement
Consolidating virtual machines (VMs) on as few physical machines (PMs) as possible so as to turn into sleep as many PMs as possible can make significant energy savings in cloud centers. Although traditional online bin packing heuristics, such as Best Fit (BF), have been used to reduce the number of active PMs, they share one common limitation; they do ...

VM Placement in non-Homogeneous IaaS-Clouds [PDF]
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud providers often combine different hardware components in an attempt to form a single infrastructure. This single infrastructure hides any underlying heterogeneity and complexity of the physical layer. Given a non-homogeneous hardware infrastructure, assigning VMs to physical machines (PMs) becomes a particularly

VM placement with effective energy management in cloud using optimal VM allocation framework (OVAF)
<p class="CAbstract"><span>The performance of servers at the data centers is affected when the servers are overloaded. To overcome this problem, the workload at the overloaded servers has to be redistributed to other servers which is possible with live VM migration.

iVMp: An Interactive VM Placement Algorithm for Agile Capital Allocation [PDF]
Server consolidation is an important problem in any enterprise, where capital allocators (CAs) must approve any cost saving plans involving the acquisition or allocation of new assets and the decommissioning of inefficient assets. Our paper describes iVMp an interactive VM placement algorithm, that allows CAs to become ‘agile’ capital allocators that ...

Simulated annealing based VM placement strategy to maximize the profit for Cloud Service Providers
Virtual machine (VM) placement strategies reported in the literature focuses mainly on minimization of power consumption and maximization of placed VMs. The revenue earned by a cloud service provider (CSP) depends on the number of VMs placed.

A Fair Comparison of VM Placement Heuristics and a More Effective Solution [PDF]
Data center optimization, mainly through virtual machine (VM) placement, has received considerable attention in the past years. A lot of heuristics have been proposed to give quick and reasonably good solutions to this problem. However it is difficult to compare them as they use different datasets, while the distribution of resources in the datasets ...
