RSS jobFrench National Employment Agency (ANPE): Improving Services to Job Seekers Via Robust Web Infrastructure
White Paper A public institution, ANPE is France's national employment agency. One of France's most heavily trafficked Web sites needed to upgrade its infrastructure with an open solution that could handle more users and new services, while accommodating the... [10 Jul 2008]
Convergence Time to Nash Equilibrium in Load Balancing
White Paper This paper studies the number of steps required to reach a pure Nash equilibrium in a load balancing scenario where each job behaves selfishly and attempts to migrate to a machine which will minimize its cost. [10 Jul 2008]
Tight Bounds for Selfish and Greedy Load Balancing
White Paper This paper studies the load balancing problem in the context of a set of clients each wishing to run a job on a server selected among a subset of permissible servers for the particular client. In selfish load balancing, each client is selfish in... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing Across Near-Homogeneous Multi-Resource Servers
White Paper A job submitted to the grid can be executed by any of the servers; however, resource size or balance may be different across servers. One approach to resource management for this grid is to layer a global load distribution system on top of the... [10 Jul 2008]
Using Content-Addressable Networks for Load Balancing in Desktop Grids (Extended Version)
White Paper Desktop grids combine Peer-to-Peer and Grid computing techniques to improve the robustness, reliability and scalability of job execution infrastructures. This paper extend the prior work with a new decentralized algorithm for maintaining... [10 Jul 2008]
Improving Performance of a Dynamic Load Balancing System by Using Number of Effective Tasks
White Paper This kind of load balancing system, known as an initial job placement system, requires knowledge of the resource usage of a task in order to fit the job to the most suitable node. Efficient resource usage is a key to achieving better performance in... [10 Jul 2008]
A Performance Comparison of Dynamic Vs. Static Load Balancing Policies in a Mainframe - Personal Computer Network Model
White Paper 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... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Distributed Systems: An Approach Using Cooperative Games
White Paper This paper formulates the static load balancing problem in single class job distributed systems as a cooperative game among computers. It is shown that the Nash Bargaining Solution (NBS) provides a Pareto optimal allocation which is also fair to... [10 Jul 2008]
Decentralized Load Balancing for Highly Irregular Search Problems
White Paper The proposed method combines both advantages and adopts distributed job-pools and a randomized polling policy. This paper presents a Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) policy for problems characterized by a highly irregular search tree, whereby no... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing With Migration Penalties
White Paper An arriving job can either be processed in a unit of time, on average, at the server where it arrives, or it can migrate to another server where it creates K ¡Ý 1 independent jobs. Many practical systems perform load balancing. [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Arbitrary Network Topologies With Stochastic Adversarial Input
White Paper A node can execute one job per step, and can also participate in one load balancing operation in which it can move tasks to a direct neighbor in the network. This paper studies the long-term (steady state) performance of a simple, randomized, local... [10 Jul 2008]
Semi-Matchings for Bipartite Graphs and Load Balancing
White Paper In particular, when modeling a job assignment system, an optimal semi-matching achieves the minimal makespan and the minimal flow time for the system. This paper considers the problem of fairly matching the left-hand vertices of a bipartite graph... [10 Jul 2008]
An Extenics-Based Load Balancing Mechanism in Distributed Computing Systems
White Paper For the transfer policy, instead of defining a fixed threshold value in the traditional load balancing policies, the extension set theory is applied and using the average response time of jobs as a factor to create an adaptive threshold value... [10 Jul 2008]
Selfish Load Balancing and Atomic Congestion Games
White Paper Each client selfishly wants to minimize its own latency (job completion time). This paper revisits a classical load balancing problem in the modern context of decentralized systems and self-interested clients. [10 Jul 2008]
Learn Best Practices for Exchange Server 2007 in this White Paper
White Paper It's a complex job requiring lots of man hours and - if not properly executed - can negatively impact your users and help desk. Migrating to Exchange Server 2007 isn't easy. The Quest Software white paper "Best Practices for Exchange Server 2007... [09 Jul 2008]
