【 摘 要 】

Cloud resource demands, especially some unclear and emergent resource demands, are growing rapidly with the development of cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence. The traditional cloud resource allocation methods do not support the emergent mode in guaranteeing the timeliness and optimization of resource allocation. This paper proposes a resource allocation algorithm for emergent demands in cloud computing. After building the priority of resource allocation and the matching distances of resource performance and resource proportion to respond to emergent resource demands, a multi-objective optimization model of cloud resource allocation is established based on the minimum number of the physical servers used and the minimum matching distances of resource performance and resource proportion. Then, an improved evolutionary algorithm, RAA-PI-NSGAII, is presented to solve the multi-objective optimization model, which not only improves the quality and distribution uniformity of the solution set but also accelerates the solving speed. The experimental results show that our algorithm can not only allocate resources quickly and optimally for emergent demands but also balance the utilization of all kinds of resources.
