Prioritization of Overflow Tasks to Improve Performance of Mobile Cloud Abstract Mobile devices may offload their applications to avirtual machine running on a cloud host. This application mayfork new tasks which require virtual machines of their own onthe same physical machine. Achieving satisfactory performancelevel in such a scenario requires flexible resource allocationmechanisms in the cloud data center. In this paper we presenttwo such mechanisms which use prioritization:one in which forked tasks are given full priority over newlyarrived tasks, and another in which a threshold is establ
