Dynamic Load Balancing in a Network of Workstations

Tags:
load balancing

Overview Load balancing is defined as the allocation of the work of a single application to processors at run-time so that the execution time of the application is minimized. Since the speed at which a NOW-based parallel application can be completed depends on the computation time of the slowest workstation, efficient load balancing can clearly provide major performance benefits. The two major categories for load-balancing algorithms are static and dynamic.
