Popis: One of the challenges of cloud computing is to optimally and efficiently assign virtual ma- chines to physical machines. The aim of telecommunication operators is to minimize the map- ping cost while respecting constraints regarding location, assignment and capacity. In this paper we first propose an exact formulation leading to a 0-1 bilinear constrained problem. Then we introduce a variety of linear cuts by exploiting the problem structure and present a Lagrange decomposition based B&B algorithm to obtain optimal solutions efficiently. Numerically, we show that our valid inequalities close over 80% of the optimality gap incurred by the well-known McCormick relaxation, and demonstrate the computational advantage of the proposed B&B algorithm with extensive numerical experiments.
