An important consideration in improving the performance of a distributed computer system is
the balancing of the load between the host computers. Load balancing may be either static …

This paper proposes a load balancing algorithm that determines the optimal load for each
host so as to minimize the overall mean job response time in a distributed computer system …

In completely symmetric systems that have homogeneous nodes (hosts, computers, or
processors) with identical arrival processes, an optimal static load balancing scheme does …

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 …

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

In past decades, significant attention has been devoted to the task allocation and load
balancing in distributed systems. Although there have been some related surveys about this …

In this paper, we present a game theoretic approach to solve the static load balancing
problem for single-class and multi-class (multi-user) jobs in a distributed system where the …

Load Balancing in Parallel Computers: Theory and Practice is about the essential software
technique of load balancing in distributed memory message-passing parallel computers …

Abstract, A broadcast communication network that interconnects multiple hosts N
considered. A job generated by a host is either generic, m which case It can be processed at …

Although dynamic load-balancing strategies have the potential of performing better than
static strategies, they are inevitably more complex. Their complexity and the overheads …
