Load balancing using iFogsim

[chiamcy]

Hello, I'm currently trying to perform load balancing in a fog computing environment using ifogsim. I read the paper and downloaded the master branch and according to my understanding, I am suppose to perform the load balancing in the method called updateAllocatedMips() in the FogDevice class. I also downloaded the improv branch since it is the newest version. However, in the improv branch's FogDevice class, the updateAllocatedMips() method is removed. I am not sure whether it is possible to use ifogsim to perform load balancing. Should I use the master or improv branch to perform load balancing?

[harshitgupta1337]

Hello

Thanks for the question. I would like to know what you mean by load balancing here - as it is not absolutely necessary to use the updateAllocatedMips() function to do so. The reason this function has been excluded from the improv branch is that in the improv branch, I have considered fog applications which would reserve resources on the device they are executing. The original implementation had resources allotted to AppModules that were processing tuples and not to idle ones. This has been simplified in the new version, and hence there is no need of the function.

Thanks for the reply! And sorry for the confusion, I am working on task scheduling to balance the load in fog computing environment to enhance the fog performance and efficiency. Basically trying to implement a scheduling algorithm into the simulator to reduce the latency and turnaround time to complete the workload from end devices.

Dear Harshit Gupta and Chiamcy, I would like to know where I can add my code for task scheduling and what is your suggestion if my objective is to reduce energy consumption in fog devices Can you help me please by sharing some ideas?

Thanks in advance!

[harshitgupta1337]

Hi Mukhtar. I apologize for the late reply. In iFogSim, there are 2 levels of task scheduling.

1. Scheduling applications among fog devices : You implement an application module placement policy and decide which fog device will hold what application modules.
2. Scheduling applications hosted on same device : You implement a Vm scheduling policy that decides which application module running on a device will receive what amount of resources of the fog node at any given time.
3. Scheduling tuples on a given application module : You implement a Tuple scheduling policy that decides how much of resources of an application module should be given to a given tuple executing on the application module.

To reduce energy consumption, you may want to do the following :

1. Consolidate computation on a smaller number of fog devices so that fewer fog devices are active and thus spending energy,
2. Reduce the amount of data transmitted over network. Network transmission also consumes energy , though IT HAS NOT BEEN MODELED IN FOGSIM YET.
3. Design application placement policies that select energy efficient devices more than energy inefficient ones

Please let me know if you need any specific details. I hope this helps.

Dear Harshit Gupta, Thanks a lot for your valued reply. I will try to follow your guidance and I will let you know what will happen

Thanks again and best regards

[mukhtarEdris]

Dear Harshit Gupta, I would like to give me some insights regarding reducing energy consumption by " 1.Consolidate computation on a smaller number of fog devices so that fewer fog devices are active and thus spending energy" or by "3. Design application placement policies that select energy efficient devices more than energy inefficient ones" did you mean another placement instead of Edge-wards? or new application modules placement policy instead of AppModuleAllocationPolicy?

Thanks in advance!

Will you please guide me from where i can download the updated version of ifogsim code, in which fog applications are considered to reserve resources on the device.

[Qaisar-Shaheen]

hi Can you please send me any ifogsim project for learning and understanding.

[mysmchannel]

hi i just started studying fog computing , i am phd scholar and i want to work on fog computing in WBAN. can you please guide me how i can learn ifogsim.. if it is possible that you can share me some coding module for my learning . i would be really greatfull

[mukhtarEdris]

Hi mysmchannel, Hope you success PhD journey. Please, see this tutorial paper http://www.buyya.com/papers/iFogSim-Tut.pdf . Hope it will be useful for you.

Best regards.

Hello, I am also studying on the load balance in fog computing and I read this post. In my design, I have a manager node in the fog cluster and I hope this manager node receives all requests and then decides which working instance to process the request. I hope to deploy my own load balance algorithm on the manager node. In this case, how do I config iFogSim ?
