A Framework for Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Cluster

Tags:
load balancing

Overview Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing (DDLB) is an important system function destined to distribute workload among available processors to improve throughput and/or execution times of parallel computer in Cluster Computing. Instead of balancing the load in cluster by process migration, or by moving an entire process to a less loaded computer, this paper make an attempt to balance load by splitting processes into separate jobs and then balance them to nodes. In order to get target, it uses Mobile Agent (MA) to distribute load among nodes in a cluster. In this paper, a multi-agent framework for load balancing in heterogeneous cluster is given. Total load on node is calculated using queue length which is measured as the total number of processes in queue.
