Since there are many types of virtual machines which are charged by time periods, the difficulties of resource provisioning and task scheduling hinders efficient execution of scientific workflows on cloud platforms. To address the challenge, a novel Critical Path Cut (CPC) based scientific workflow scheduling algorithm is proposed in this paper. The algorithm schedules tasks on appropriate virtual machine based on CPC strategy by analyzing the dependencies of the tasks; meanwhile, it uses the isolated tasks to fill in the idle slots of the virtual machines, such that the resource utilization can be improved without affecting the overall performance. Experimental results demonstrate that, the proposed CPC algorithm can effectively reduce the execution cost of the scientific workflows while satisfying the deadline constraint in mean time.
