Dynamic Load Balancing for Distributed Search
Overview This paper examines how computation can be mapped across the nodes of a distributed search system to effectively utilize available resources. It specifically address computationally intensive search of complex data, such as content-based retrieval of digital images or sounds, where sophisticated algorithms must be evaluated on the objects of interest. Since these problems require significant computation, it distributes the search over a collection of compute nodes, such as active storage devices, intermediate processors and host computers. A key challenge with mapping the desired computation to the available resources is that the most efficient distribution depends on several factors: relative power and number of compute nodes; network bandwidth between the compute nodes; the cost of evaluating query predicates; and the selectivity of the given query.
