Improved Max-Min Algorithm for Resource Allocation in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a model that enables the users to get on-demand access to a pool of shared computing resources over the Internet from remote locations. The objective of cloud computing is to provide multiple services to multiple users efficiently. To achieve this goal, many cloud service providers face lot of challenges to facilitate all the required resources to the users according to their demand. Max-Min (MM) algorithm is an existing resource allocation algorithm that help service providers to cater the varying need of the users for resources. The drawback of the Max-Min algorithm is that it attains high waiting time and completion time. To overcome this, we propose Improved Max-Min (IMM) algorithm which will be helpful in allocating resources in cloud environment along with reducing the average waiting time and total completion time. Hence the overall resource utilization will be maximized.
