RESOURCE PROVISIONING FOR TASK-BATCH BASED WORKFLOWS WITH DEADLINES IN PUBLIC CLOUDS Abstract: To meet the dynamic workload requirements in widespread task-batch based workflow applications, it is important to design algorithms for DAG-based platforms (such as Dryad, Spark and Pegasus) to rent virtual machines from public clouds dynamically. In terms of depths and functionalities, tasks of different task-batches are merged into task-units. A unit-aware deadline division method is investigated for properly dividing workflow deadlines to task deadlines so as to minimize the utilization of rented intervals. A rulebased task scheduling method is presented for allocating tasks to time slots of rented Virtual Machines (VMs) with a task right shifting operation and a weighted priority composite rule. A Unit-aware Rule-based Heuristic (URH) is proposed for elastically provisioning VMs to task-batch based workflows to minimize the rental cost in DAG-based cloud platforms. Effectiveness of the proposed URH methods is verified by comparing them against two adapted existing algorithms for similar problems on some realistic workflows.
