Cloud environment task scheduling method based on improved ant colony algorithm

The invention discloses a cloud environment task scheduling method based on an improved ant colony algorithm. On the basis of the conventional ant colony algorithm, a rest-life-pheromone (RLP) concept is introduced; by comparing the RLPs of ant brothers in the searching process, repeated search can be effectively eliminated, and searching accuracy is improved; and by adoption of a method for computing the quantity of the ant brothers, the quantity of ants can be dynamically changed under the specific conditions of loads and tasks of cloud environment, so a system is not overloaded, and the searching accuracy is ensured. Compared with the prior art, the cloud environment task scheduling method based on the improved ant colony algorithm has the advantages that requirements of a user on task execution time can be met to the greatest extent, and the allocation efficiency and execution efficiency of the tasks are improved.
