摘要

Multi-cloud execution of financial workflows requires the joint control of makespan, energy consumption, inter-cloud communication overhead, and privacy satisfaction. Existing schedulers usually optimize only part of those targets which always neglects that resources have heterogeneous DVFS states and tasks have various privacy levels. This paper presents DER, a differential evolution-based scheduler that combines (i) reference working-state initialization derived from DVFS-oriented energy minimization, (ii) privacy-feasible resource assignment, and (iii) a probabilistic hybrid mutation strategy integrating basic differential, target-to-best, multi-differential, and adaptive mutation operators. The scheduling problem is formulated as a four-objective optimization model that minimizes execution time, energy consumption, and cross-cloud transfer size while maximizing privacy benefit subject to deadline and privacy-feasibility constraints. Simulations on multi-cloud financial workloads compare DER with PSLS, SSPPH, and FFARS under low, medium, and high privacy loads. The results show that DER consistently yields fewer uncompleted tasks, lower execution time and cost, and higher privacy satisfaction, indicating that reference-state-guided initialization and adaptive mutation improve both convergence quality and feasibility preservation in privacy-aware financial scheduling.
