Job Scheduling And Simulation In Cloud Based On Deep Reinforcement Learning, Qirui Li, Xinyi Peng

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To solve the difficulty in job scheduling in the complex and transient multi-user, multi-queue, and multi-data-center cloud computing environment, this paper proposed a job scheduling method based on deep reinforcement learning. A system model of cloud job scheduling and its mathematical model were built, and an optimization goal consisting of transmission time, waiting time, and execution time was obtained. A job scheduling algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning was designed, and its state space, action space, and reward function were given. A simulated cloud job scheduler was designed and developed, and simulated scheduling experiments were conducted on it. The …
