A distributed system consists of many heterogeneous processors with different processing power and all processors are interconnected with a communication channel. In such a system, if some processors are less loaded or idle and others are heavily loaded, the system performance will be reduced drastically. System performance can be improved by using proper load balancing [1, 4]. The aim of load balancing is to improve the performance measures and reduce the overall completion time and cost
Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: 1.0, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg (Faculty of Computer Science), course: Recent Topics in Business Informatics, language: English, abstract: Energy efficiency has a rising importance throughout society. With the growth of large data centers, the energy consumption becomes centralized and nowadays takes a significant amount of the overall electricity consumption of a country. Load balancing algorithms are able to make an existing infrastructure more efficient without major drawbacks. This structured literature research presents the state of the art technology regarding the load balancing approach to make data centers more en-ergy efficient. The state of the art approaches are reviewed for techniques, im-provements and consideration of performance effects.
In a distributed computing environment, it is important to ensure that the processor workloads are adequately balanced, Among numerous load-balancing algorithms, a unique approach due to Das and Prasad defines a symmetric broadcast network (SBN) that provides a robust communication pattern among the processors in a topology-independent manner. In this paper, we propose and analyze three efficient SBN-based dynamic load-balancing algorithms, and implement them on an SGI Origin2000. A thorough experimental study with Poisson distributed synthetic loads demonstrates that our algorithms are effective in balancing system load. By optimizing completion time and idle time, the proposed algorithms are shown to compare favorably with several existing approaches.
In a distributed-computing environment, it is important to ensure that the processor workloads are adequately balanced. Among numerous load-balancing algorithms, a unique approach due to Dam and Prasad defines a symmetric broadcast network (SBN) that provides a robust communication pattern among the processors in a topology-independent manner. In this paper, we propose and analyze three novel SBN-based load-balancing algorithms, and implement them on an SP2. A thorough experimental study with Poisson-distributed synthetic loads demonstrates that these algorithms are very effective in balancing system load while minimizing processor idle time. They also compare favorably with several other existing load-balancing techniques. Additional experiments performed with real data demonstrate that the SBN approach is effective in adaptive computational science and engineering applications where dynamic load balancing is extremely crucial.

Computational approaches contribute a significance role in various fields such as medical applications, astronomy, and weather science, to perform complex calculations in speedy manner. Today, personal computers are very powerful but underutilized. Most of the computer resources are idle; 75% of the time and server are often unproductive. This brings the sense of distributed computing, in which the idea is to use the geographically distributed resources to meet the demand of high-performance computing. The Internet facilitates users to access heterogeneous services and run applications over a distributed environment. Due to openness and heterogeneous nature of distributed computing, the developer must deal with several issues like load balancing, interoperability, fault occurrence, resource selection, and task scheduling. Load balancing is the mechanism to distribute the load among resources optimally. The objective of this chapter is to discuss need and issues of load balancing that evolves the research scope. Various load balancing algorithms and scheduling methods are analyzed that are used for performance optimization of web resources. A systematic literature with their solutions and limitations has been presented. The chapter provides a concise narrative of the problems encountered and dimensions for future extension.
Distributed systems are often characterized by uneven loads on hosts and other resources. In this thesis, the problems concerning dynamic load balancing in loosely-coupled distributed systems are studied using trace-driven simulation, implementation, and measurement. Information about job CPU and I/O demands is collected from three production systems and used as input to a simulator that includes a representative CPU scheduling policy and considers the message exchange and job transfer costs explicitly. A prototype load balancer is implemented in the Berkeley UNIX and Sun/UNIX environments, and the results of a large number of measurement experiments performed on six workstations are presented.
