Abstract—The energy consumption is considered as key factors of green cloud computing to achieve resource allocation. To address the issue of high energy consumption and low efficiency of cloud computing, this paper proposes a power-efficient immune clonal optimization algorithm (PEICO) based on dynamic load balancing strategy and immune clonal selection theory in green cloud computing. The experimental results show that PEICO performs much better than the clonal selection algorithms and differential evolution in terms of the quality of solution and computational cost.
