In　recent　years,　with　the　rapid　development　of　Internet　and　virtualization　technology,　cloud　computing,　which　providing　users　with　on-demand　services,　has　become　a　research　hotspot.　Under　the　environment　of　cloud　computing,　the　datacenter,　consisted　by　hardware　and　software,　is　a　loosely　coupled　resource　sharing　architecture.　The　existing　cloud　computing＇s　inadequacies　are　as　following　three　aspects:　1.　For　lacking　of　real　adequate　and　effective　transaction　of　global　bidirectional-way　selection,　the　revenue　of　most　of　cloud　resource　provider　is　too　low.　2.　Since　not　fully　considering　the　scheduling　of　multi-dimensional　cloud　resources,　existing　cloud　computing＇s　utilization　for　multi-dimensional　cloud　resource　is　too　low.　3.　Because　existing　cloud　datacenter　does　not　fully　consider　the　energy　consumption　of　communication　between　the　cloud　tasks,　its　energy　consumption　is　too　high.　Resource　scheduling　is　a　major　research　direction　of　cloud　computing.　First,　we　make　a　in-depth　investigation　and　analysis　of　the　research　status　of　cloud　computing　resource　scheduling,　and　then　focus　on　resource　scheduling　method　to　reduce　the　energy　consumption　of　cloud　computing　data　center.　Finally　we　set　an　important　future　research　direction　of　cloud　computing　resource　management　research　in　order　to　provide　a　useful　reference　for　cloud　computing　research.　©　(2014)　Trans　Tech　Publications,　Switzerland.
