A Game-Theoretic Model and Algorithm for Load Balancing in Distributed Systems

Overview This paper presents a game theoretic framework for obtaining a user-optimal load balancing scheme in heterogeneous distributed systems. It formulates the static load balancing problem in heterogeneous distributed systems as a noncooperative game among users. For the proposed noncooperative load balancing game, the paper presents the structure of the Nash equilibrium. Based on this structure it derives a new distributed load balancing algorithm. Finally, the performance of the noncooperative load balancing scheme is compared with that of other existing schemes. This scheme guarantees the optimality of allocation for each user in the distributed system.
