In this ever-developing technological world, one way to manage and deliver services is through cloud computing, a massive web of heterogenous autonomous systems that comprise adaptable computational design. Cloud computing can be improved through task scheduling, albeit it being the most challenging aspect to be improved. Better task scheduling can improve response time, reduce power consumption and processing time, enhance makespan and throughput, and increase profit by reducing operating costs and raising the system reliability. This study aims to improve job scheduling by transferring the job scheduling problem into a bin packing problem. Three modifies implementations of bin packing algorithms were proposed to be used for task scheduling (MBPTS) based on the minimisation of makespan. The results, which were based on the open-source simulator CloudSim, demonstrated that the proposed MBPTS was adequate to optimise balance results, reduce waiting time and makespan, and improve the utilisation of the resource in comparison to the current scheduling algorithms such as the particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and first come first serve (FCFS).

Nowadays, Cloud Computing (CC) has emerged as a new paradigm for hosting and delivering services over the Internet. However, the wider deployment of Cloud and the rapid increase in the capacity, as well as the size of data centers, induces a tremendous rise in electricity consumption, escalating data center ownership costs and increasing carbon footprints. This expanding scale of data centers has made energy consumption an imperative issue. Besides, users' requirements regarding execution time, deadline, QoS have become more sophisticated and demanding. These requirements often conflict with the objectives of cloud providers, especially in a high-stress environment in which the tasks have very critical deadlines. To address these issues, this paper proposes an efficient Energy-Aware Tasks Scheduling with Deadline-constrained in Cloud Computing (EATSD). The main goal of the proposed solution is to reduce the energy consumption of the cloud resources, consider different users' priorities and optimize the makespan under the deadlines constraints. Further, the proposed algorithm has been simulated using the CloudSim simulator. The experimental results validate that the proposed approach can effectively achieve good performance by minimizing the makespan, reducing energy consumption and improving resource utilization while meeting deadline constraints.
