The aim of this paper is to propose a new competition-based load balancing scheme and
investigate it. The system is composed of a set of workstation clusters. The paper deals with …

Load Balancing has many applications in various systems, but specifically plays a major role
in the efficiency of parallel and distributed systems. In these systems, by load balancing we …

In this paper two new methods for load balancing in distributed systems are proposed. Both
methods are based on hierarchical structure. Hierarchical structure provides better load …

A distributed system consists of several autonomous nodes. In a distributed system some of
the nodes may be overloaded due to a large number of job arrivals while other nodes may …

A distributed system consists of several autonomous nodes, where some of the nodes may
be overloaded due to a large number of job arrivals while others nodes are idle without any …

Cluster heterogeneity increases the difficulty of balancing the load across the system nodes.
Although the relationship between heterogeneity and load balancing is difficult to describe …

With the technological progress, distributed systems are widely used for parallel processing
of computationally intensive applications with heterogeneous computing needs. Such …

A fundamental issue affecting the performance of a parallel application running on a
distributed system is the distribution of the workload over the various machines in the …

In a large distributed computing environment, like Grid, tasks can be submitted at any host
and the random arrival of tasks in such an environment can cause some hosts to be heavily …
