Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Technical Reports
Computing literature has being flooded recently with a plethora of dynamic load balancing strategies for multicomputer systems. The diversity of many strategies and their dependence on a number of parameters has made it difficult to compare their effectiveness on a unified basis. Not only does each strategy consider a different environment, but the simplified assumptions obscure the relative merits and demerits of each strategy. This paper presents a solution to compare different load balancing schemes on a unified basis. Our approach, which is an integration of simulation, statistical and analytical experiments, takes into account the fundamental system parameters that can …
