Abstract: This research work discusses the methodology for cloud workloads prediction and simulation for developing a load balancing algorithm. The main goal of the methodology is to develop an efficient load balancing algorithm which would require less processing power. In-order to enhance load balancing, these following parameters should incorporated, namely, determining as well as comparing the load and efficiency of the system, connection between the nodes, transmission nature and obtaining the proper nodes. Therefore. to enhance the performance of the load balancing, a firefly based algorithm was developed. The proposed algorithm main task is to increase the utilization of resource among cloud servers, thereby enhancing performance of the cloud servers by proper load balancing.
