Detailed Description
The technical solution provided by the present invention will be further explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The workflow scheduling in the mobile cloud environment is implemented in two stages, in the first stage, tasks with high transmission cost are combined according to the transmission cost among the tasks, and meanwhile, each device is allocated with proper voltage frequency, so that an initial scheduling scheme of the workflow is obtained. And the second stage is a dispatching stage, the initial dispatching scheme is adjusted by taking the requirement of meeting the deadline of the preset workflow as a constraint condition and taking the requirement of minimum energy consumption of equipment and the reliability of a user as a target, and the final workflow dispatching scheme is obtained. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
step S1: preprocessing a workflow submitted by a user;
step S2: constructing a workflow model under a mobile cloud environment;
step S3: generating an optimal workflow scheduling scheme based on an improved genetic algorithm;
step S4: distributing tasks to the equipment in the mobile cloud according to the scheduling result;
wherein the step S1 further comprises the steps of:
step S11: merging the nodes with overlarge workflow transmission cost according to the workflow transmission cost weight;
step S12: the mobile cloud environment equipment calls a voltage adjustment technology to adjust the most appropriate voltage frequency of the equipment;
in step S11, referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a workflow optimization method in a mobile cloud environment provided by the present invention is shown, where the workflow optimization method merges data-intensive workflow similar nodes according to a workflow transmission cost threshold, and a formula of the calculation is:
Figure GDA0003115779300000061
in the Trans _ P [ i ] [ j ] matrix, if two task nodes do not have transmission, the two task nodes are set to be 0; otherwise, defining the weight value according to the communication cost between the nodes. Tasks with overlarge transmission cost are distributed to the same processor, so that not only can time overhead generated during transmission among the tasks be reduced, but also energy consumption generated during transmission can be reduced, the DAG graph can be converted into a new DAG graph, and the next step is to perform optimization on the basis of the new DAG graph.
In step S12, the most suitable voltage and frequency of the device is adjusted according to the performance of the mobile cloud environment device, and the energy consumption of the device can be effectively reduced by reasonably allocating the voltage and frequency to the mobile cloud device, so that the suitable voltage and frequency is crucial to the mobile cloud device, and the calculation formula of the voltage and frequency is as follows:
Figure GDA0003115779300000062
wherein Z is 51 × 10 when defined in the present invention under a 0.18 μm process-12;β=1.5。
In step S2, the method further includes the steps of:
step s21, representing the task set of the workflow in the mobile cloud environment by a sideband weighted directed acyclic graph G ═ T, E, P, where T ═ T1,t2...,tnIs a set of N tasks, E { (i, j) | ti<tjIs between tasksFirst order constraints, i.e. tjCan not be at tiStarting before completion, P ═ P1,p2,...,pmcDenotes a device deployed at the mobile cloud.

Step S22, it can be known from step S21 that the workflow model in the mobile cloud environment needs to define an energy consumption model, and therefore, the deadline time of the task needs to be estimated, and the following formula is calculated in combination with the failure rate of the device and the voltage frequency of the task on the device calculated from step S21:

representing the time it takes task n to run at fk on an mr device.
Step S23, it can be known from step S21 that the workflow model in the mobile cloud environment needs to define a reliability model, that is, the success rate of running the task under the device, the reliability of the device mr is affected by the instantaneous failure rate lambda and the calculation cost c of the device at the frequency fiiInfluence. The calculation formula for the reliability of the device is thus:

wherein R ismr(fi) Indicating that the device mr is on frequencyRate fiReliability of time, λ represents instantaneous failure rate of the device, d represents a constant and d is 0.1, ciIndicating the device at frequency fiThe computational cost of time.
In step S3, the method further includes the steps of:
s31, generating an optimal workflow scheduling scheme by using an improved genetic algorithm, and firstly encoding a workflow scheduling task in a mobile cloud environment;
referring to fig. 2, a flow chart of the improved genetic algorithm for solving the optimization of energy consumption and reliability in a workflow provided by the present invention is shown, which is specifically as follows:
after the energy consumption model, the reliability model and the input workflow are established, two components, namely mapping and scheduling character strings, are set for each chromosome in order to better perform algorithm optimization on a scheduling scheme of the workflow. Scheduling represents DAG topological ordering, ensuring preferential constraints. The length of the chromosome is equal to the task number set T ═ T { (T) }1,t2..,tnMapping the representative node to distribute tasks to the processor and the voltage frequency required to be adjusted; the coding pattern of individuals in a particular population is shown in FIG. 3.
After encoding the individuals, the adaptive value of each individual in the population needs to be calculated, and the formula for calculating the adaptive value is as follows:
Figure GDA0003115779300000081
and (4) calculating the adaptive value of each individual, wherein the larger the adaptive value is, the more excellent the individual is, so that the population is divided into an elite group and a common group in a descending order according to the fitness.
Step S32 dividing the population into elite groups and common groups;
and dividing an elite group and a common group in the population, and sorting each group of individuals in a descending order according to the fitness. New individuals are continuously generated in the process of iteration on the population, so that the situation that the member group is full of members occurs in both the normal group and the elite group, and the members of the elite group and the normal group need to be processed.
If new better individuals are generated, the new better individuals are added into the elite group, if the elite group is full, the fitness of the new better individuals is compared with the fitness of members of the elite group, inferior individuals are removed from the elite group, and if the common group is full, the worst individuals are removed from the common group.
Step S33, performing cross operation on individuals in the elite group and the common group according to the cross probability, and performing mutation operation according to the mutation probability to generate a new group;
according to the cross variation rule of the genetic algorithm, the selection reflects the approach to the optimal solution, the cross reflects the generation of the optimal solution, and the variation reflects the coverage of the global optimal solution. Therefore, the crossover operation is performed according to the probability of 2% and the mutation operation is performed according to the probability of 5% for the elite group, whereas the crossover operation is performed according to the probability of 5% and the mutation operation is performed according to the probability of 2% for the common group.
Step S34, judging whether the genetic finishing condition is satisfied, if yes, obtaining an optimal solution set, and if not, returning to execute step S33;
the genetic end condition is that after N iterations are set, the optimal solution of the individuals of the elite group can keep lower energy consumption and higher reliability under the condition of meeting time constraint.
In step S4, tasks are allocated to the devices in the mobile cloud according to the scheduling result, an optimal scheduling scheme is selected and sent to the mobile terminal, the tasks and the devices are mapped according to the scheduling scheme, and the devices perform voltage frequency adjustment according to the plan, so that the whole workflow scheduling can be completed.
Through the process, the optimization of the workflow under the cloud mobile environment is realized, the reliability of the equipment is ensured and the energy consumption of the equipment is reduced on the premise of meeting the requirement of time constraint.
In order to verify the technical effect of the technical scheme of the invention, a mobile cloud environment is simulated in a laboratory, and the workflow optimization effect of the invention is explained in detail as follows:
we set 3 servers with 3 cores in a mobile cloud environment, where the voltages of three devices at the maximum voltage frequency are respectively set to P1-1J, P2-3J, P3-5J; and randomly generating a DAG graph with 50-150 task numbers, taking the 50 task numbers as a first group of scheduling task targets, sequentially increasing by taking 10 as a unit, and totally considering 10 groups of data. Respectively taking energy consumption, time and reliability as observation targets, and sequentially comparing and explaining the common genetic algorithm optimization (MCC-GA) operated by a DAG (directed-edge graph), the genetic algorithm optimization (MCC-DVGA) combined with energy consumption and the algorithm (MCC-ODVGA) proposed in the invention, but the invention is not limited by the description.
Figures 4 to 6 show a comparison of three algorithms running on three mobile processors.
Fig. 4 represents the energy consumption of each algorithm during execution of the workflow. Of these three algorithms, the MCC-ODVGA has better performance than the other algorithms. With the increase of the number of tasks, the energy boosting effect of the MCC-ODVGA tends to be more and more obviously better than that of other algorithms.
Fig. 5 compares the completion times of the three algorithms at different numbers of tasks. Compared with MCC-GA and MCC-DVGA, MCC-ODVGA has better performance than other algorithms under the limitation of expiration date. Therefore, this method is novel, and it is effective not only in adjusting the time cost but also in improving the performance of energy consumption.
Fig. 6 shows the performance of the three algorithms on reliability. To determine the relationship between these algorithms, a third experimental search for sample reliability was conducted. Experiments show that as the complexity of tasks increases, the probability of errors also increases, the difficulty of task scheduling is also influenced by the increase of the number of tasks and the complexity of task dependence, and the MCC-ODVGA can work better when a user needs higher reliability and lower energy consumption under the deadline constraint.
The above description of the embodiments is only intended to facilitate the understanding of the method of the invention and its core idea. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, it is possible to make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principle of the present invention, and those improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
