The problem of redistributing the work load on parallel computers is considered. An optimal redistribution algorithm, which minimises the Euclidean norm of the migrating load, is derived. The relationship between this algorithm and some existing algorithms is discussed and the convergence of the new

โฆ Synopsis
This paper presents a new adaptive algorithm for dynamic load balancing on a shared BUS architecture. We present results obtained from simulation studies and queuing analysis, which reflect the relation between the BUS contention and the efficiency of load balancing. The proposed algorithm uses a scheme for monitoring the Threshold parameter to dynamically adapt itself to the limited bandwidth of the shared BUS. We have compared our algorithm with some of the known policies, and the relative performance appears to be promising.

We describe an adaptive method for achieving load balance in parallel computations simulating phenomena which are distributed over a spatially extended region, but are local in nature. We have tested the method on standard short-ranged parallel molecular dynamics calculations. The performance gain w
Most existing dynamic load distribution (LD) algorithms assume fairly stable task arrival pattern. With this assumption, single task assignments are adequate to provide reasonably good performance. They are, however, inadequate when tasks arrive in bursts. In this paper, we propose a LD algorithm ba
