RSS processorsLoad-Balancing Iterative Computations in Heterogeneous Clusters With Shared Communication Links
White Paper The application data is partitioned over the processors, which are arranged along a virtual ring. At each iteration, independent calculations are carried out in parallel, and some communications take place between consecutive processors in the ring. [10 Jul 2008]
Static Load-Balancing Techniques for Iterative Computations on Heterogeneous Clusters
White Paper The application data is partitioned over the processors. The question is to determine how to slice the application data into chunks, and to assign these chunks to the processors, so that the total execution time is minimized. [10 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Load Balancing and CFD Simulations on the MecaGRID and GRID5000
White Paper If both the fast and slow processors are given the same amount of work, the faster processors will finish their computations first and wait for the slower processors to finish. To achieve load balancing more work must be given to the faster... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Arbitrary Network Topologies With Stochastic Adversarial Input
White Paper It assumes a system of n processors connected by an arbitrary network topology. Jobs are placed in the processors by a deterministic or randomized adversary. The adversary knows the current and past load distribution in the network and can use this... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Distributed Computing Over Wireless LAN: Effects of Network Delay
White Paper The model takes into account uncertainty in network delays and the variability in the processors' speeds. The system consisting of two Transmeta processors connected through a wireless LAN, utilizing an 802.11b access point, is used as the testbed. [10 Jul 2008]
Load-Balancing for a Real-Time System Based on Asymmetric Multi-Processing
White Paper It allows retaining the flexibility and ease of development of a normal application for the real-time applications while keeping the whole power of SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processors) systems for their execution. [10 Jul 2008]
A Parallel Iterative Linear System Solver With Dynamic Load Balancing
White Paper Matrices as well as vectors are distributed heterogeneously according to the available performances of the processors, and redistributions are carried out at run time if the load of the processors changes. [10 Jul 2008]
Network Processor Load Balancing for High-Speed Links
White Paper While transmission rates already achieve speeds beyond 40 Gb/s, today's network processors are only slowly approaching 10 Gb/s. This paper presents a load-balancing scheme that enables system designers to bridge the performance gap using multiple... [10 Jul 2008]
A Refinement-Tree Based Partitioning Method for Dynamic Load Balancing With Adaptively Refined Grids
White Paper The partitioning of an adaptive grid for distribution over parallel processors is considered in the context of adaptive multilevel methods for solving partial differential equations. A partitioning method based on the refinement-tree is presented. [10 Jul 2008]
On Runtime Parallel Scheduling for Processor Load Balancing
White Paper In parallel scheduling, all processors cooperate to schedule work. Parallel scheduling is a new approach for load balancing. Parallel scheduling is able to accurately balance the load by using global load information at compile-time or runtime. [10 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Load Balancing in a Network of Workstations
White Paper Load balancing is defined as the allocation of the work of a single application to processors at run-time so that the execution time of the application is minimized. Since the speed at which a NOW-based parallel application can be completed depends... [10 Jul 2008]
A Framework for Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Cluster
White Paper 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. [10 Jul 2008]
