A review on recent scheduling algorithms in the cloud environment.

Cloud users and service providers are the leading players in the cloud computing environment. This environment comprises data centers, hosts, agents and virtual machines. The cloud user's application of varied loads is leased on the provider's resources. Scientific applications are large-scale complex workflow problems that demand more computing power. The cloud fulfills the workflow requirements of huge availability and increased computational power. One of the most crucial issues of cloud computing is scheduling tasks for the system's effective functioning. This paper reviews several existing task-scheduling techniques based on diverse metrics. This work will help the investigators to gain a better understanding of task scheduling techniques. In order to boost an algorithm's performance, a few strategies are offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
