JCC_V3_N2_RP2 Performance Evaluation of Task Scheduling Algorithms for Cloud Computing Amtoj Kaur Kanwalvir Singh Dhindsa Journal on Cloud Computing 2350-1308 3 2 10 16 Cloud Computing, Service Models, Task Scheduling, Scheduling Algorithms, Priority Based, Round Robin, CloudSim Cloud Computing deals with the varied virtualization resources. The task scheduling plays a crucial role to enhance the performance of cloud computing. The issue with task scheduling is distribution of tasks within the system in a way that will optimize the performance of the overall system, minimize the makespan, waiting time, maximize throughput, and so on. The paper highlights the comparison between FCFS, Priority based and Round Robin scheduling algorithms. The priority based and round robin scheduling algorithm have showcased better results under certain parameters than the FCFS. February - April 2016 Copyright © 2016 i-manager publications.
