A Performance Comparison of Dynamic Vs. Static Load Balancing Policies in a Mainframe - Personal Computer Network Model
Overview Distributed computer systems can share job processing in the event of overloads. Load balancing involves the distribution of jobs throughout a networked computer system, thus increasing throughput without having to obtain additional or faster computer hardware. Load balancing policies may be either static or dynamic. Static load balancing policies are generally based on the information about the average behavior of sys-tem; transfer decisions are independent of the actual current system state. Dynamic policies, on the other hand, react to the actual current system state in making transfer decisions. This makes dynamic policies necessarily more complex than static ones, and truly optimal dynamic policies are known only for special systems.
