Process migration is the act of transferring a process between two machines. It enables
dynamic load distribution, fault resilience, eased system administration, and data access …

Cloud computing has proposed a new perspective for provisioning the large-scale
computing resources by using virtualization technology and a payper-use cost model. Load …

We consider the following natural model: customers arrive as a Poisson stream of rate/spl
lambda/n,/spl lambda/< 1, at a collection of n servers. Each customer chooses some …

Load balancing is the process of redistributing the work load among nodes of the distributed
system to improve both resource utilization and job response time while also avoiding a …

To motivate this survey, we begin with a simple problem that demonstrates a powerful
fundamental idea. Suppose that n balls are thrown into n bins, with each ball choosing a bin …

Dynamic load balancing strategies for minimizing the execution time of single applications
running in parallel on multicomputer systems are discussed. Dynamic load balancing (DLB) …

The problem of judiciously and transparently redistributing the load of the system among its
nodes so that overall performance is maximized is discussed. Several key issues in load …

Datacenter operators today strive to support microsecond-latency applications while also
using their limited CPU resources as efficiently as possible. To achieve this, several recent …

We consider the problem of load balancing in dynamic distributed systems in cases where
new incoming tasks can make use of old information. For example, consider a …

Load Balancing in Parallel Computers: Theory and Practice is about the essential software
technique of load balancing in distributed memory message-passing parallel computers …
