The design and implementation of a prototype load balancer on a loosely-coupled
distributed system are discussed, and the results of a large number of measurement …

Distributed systems are often characterized by uneven loads on hosts and other resources.
In this thesis, the problems concerning dynamic load balancing in loosely-coupled …

Most distributed systems are characterized by distribution of both physical and logical
features. The architecture of a distributed system is usually modular. Most distributed …

This paper presents an implementation and performance evaluation of load balancing in a
locally distributed system. The decentralized algorithm proposed here uses both process …

One of the major issues concerning the efficiency and effectiveness of dynamic load
balancing algorithms is their scalability. As the size of the distributed computer system …

In this paper, dynamic load balancing algorithms are studied using a queueing theoretic
model. For each algorithm, a different load index has been used to estimate the host loads …

Load balancing is the process of redistributing the work load among nodes of the distributed
system to improve both resource utilization and job response time while also avoiding a …

This paper presents an implementation and performance evaluation of load balancing in the
locally distributed system. The sender-initiated algorithms transparently distribute jobs …

Thispaperpresents aperformance evaluation approach to compare different distributed load
balancing schemes on a unified basis. This approach is an integration of simulation …

The multiplicity and autonomy of resources in fully distributed processing systems make task
migration an attractive method for enhancing the response time of these systems. However …
