Research on the resource allocation algorithm based on forecasting in mobile cloud computing

With the construction and application of large-scale datacenters, the issue of resource allocation in cloud computing becomes a serious concern. Although the current static allocation method can make applications get corresponding resources, there still exist some shortcomings such as resource surpluses or shortages. This kind of problem is more crucial in real-time requirements of mobile cloud computing service. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a forecasting model to predict the future resource demands, and then perform on-demand distribution, which can effectively reduce the unnecessary daily network management fees and address the issues mentioned above. This paper focuses on CPU resource forecasting, establishing three forecasting models including Markov chain, weighted Markov chain and stacking weighted Markov chain. By comparing and analyzing the experiment results, the most reasonable forecasting model is found and explained.
