Abstract: Resource scheduling is a fundamental issue in cloud computing. The resource scheduling methods of reducing energy consumption and improving resource utilization in cloud computing data center, and economics-based cloud resource management models were discussed. I}hen cloud computing resource scheduling model of minimizing energy consumption and minimizing number of servers was proposed. Finally, important directions for future research in resource scheduling of cloud computing, which include prediction-based resource scheduling, power and performance tradeoff scheduling, resource management policies and mechanisms for different application workload types, comprehensive multi resource allocation with computing power (CPU, memory) and network bandwidth, multi objective optimization of resource schcduling,wcrc presented.

Key words: Cloud computing, Resource scheduling, Energy consumption
