Modeling the virtual machine allocation problem

Year: 2015
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Finding the right allocation of virtual machines (VM) in cloud data centers is one of the key optimization \nproblems in cloud computing. Accordingly, many algorithms have been proposed for the problem. However, \nlacking a single, generally accepted formulation of the VM allocation problem, there are many subtle differences \nin the problem formulations that these algorithms address; moreover, in several cases, the exact problem formu- \nlation is not even defined explicitly. Hence in this paper, we present a comprehensive generic model of the VM \nallocation problem. We also show how the often-investigated problem variants fit into this general model.
