Abstract: | Cloud data centers have become overwhelmed with data-intensive applications due to the limited computational capabilities of mobile terminals. Mobile edge computing is emerging as a potential paradigm to host application execution at the edge of networks to reduce transmission delays. Compute nodes are usually distributed in edge environments, enabling crucially efficient task scheduling among those nodes to achieve reduced processing time. Moreover, it is imperative to conserve edge server energy, enhancing their lifetimes. To this end, this paper proposes a novel task scheduling algorithm named Energy-aware Double-fitness Particle Swarm Optimization (EA-DFPSO) that is based on an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm for achieving energy efficiency in an edge computing environment along with minimal task execution time. The proposed EA-DFPSO algorithm applies a dual fitness function to search for an optimal tasks-scheduling scheme for saving edge server energy while maintaining service quality for tasks. Extensive experimentation demonstrates that our proposed EA-DFPSO algorithm outperforms the existing traditional scheduling algorithms to achieve reduced task completion time and conserve energy in an edge computing environment. |
