Abstract: This paper concentrates on methods which provide efficient processing time of a virtual machine, CPU utilization time of a virtual machine. As the user increases, the performance may be significantly reduced if the tasks are not scheduled in a proper order. In this paper the performance of two already existing algorithms DSP (Dependency Structural Prioritization) algorithm and credit scheduling algorithm are analyzed and compared. A single virtual machine’s processing time and CPU utilization time are measured .Satisfactory results are achieved while comparing the two algorithms. This study concludes that the DSP algorithm can perform efficiently than the credit scheduling algorithm.

Keywords: Virtual Machine, DSP algorithm, credit scheduling algorithm
