An analysis of the load scheduling algorithms in the cloud computing environment: A survey

Cloud Computing is a recent developmental paradigm in the field of computing offering huge power to next generation computers. The dynamic provisioning acts as a base for cloud computing facilitating and supporting the network services. It focuses on making the vision of utility computing a reality with pay-as-you-go. It offers immense potential to bloom the world with applications and products focussing on greater resource utilization and scalability. This paper presents the basic cloud computing fundamentals and the concepts of load balancing i.e., scheduling of load in the cloud. It elaborates the existing load scheduling algorithms with their merits/demerits and suitability in the cloud and heterogeneous computing environment and proposes a new perspective for better results as per desired parameters.
