Abstract
This article explores the growing relevance of cloud computing in everyday life and the business context, emphasizing the importance of proactive approaches to mitigate its environmental impact. Green cloud computing is an initiative aimed at reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions associated with cloud computing, without compromising its functionality and performance. The main focus of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of resource scheduling algorithms in cloud computing data centers and to develop an innovative methodology for calculating energy efficiency scores and classifying energy performance. Using the CloudSim Plus simulation environment, four algorithms - Round Robin (RR), Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Ant Colony System (ACS) - were compared through 800 simulations. In addition to the simulations, the methodology involved analyzing the data through rigorous statistical techniques, including the use of the T-Student table, and creating an energy performance index derived from the results obtained. The research also incorporated artificial intelligence, specifically neural network-based classifiers, to improve the classification of energy levels. The results indicated a significant reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emissions, approximately 55%, and an improvement in the cost-effectiveness of virtual machine allocation, around 28%. This study demonstrates that the adoption of innovative scheduling strategies and the implementation of a quantitative energy evaluation model can significantly optimize cloud computing efficiency.
