Load Sharing in Heterogeneous Distributed Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Load sharing is key to the efficient operation of distributed systems. This paper investigates load sharing policies in a heterogeneous distributed system, where half of the total processors have double the speed of the others. Processor performance is examined and compared under a variety of workloads. Two job classes are considered. Programs of the first class are dedicated to fast processors, while second class programs are generic in the sense that they can be allocated to any processor. The objective is to find a policy that results in good overall performance while maintaining the fairness of individual job classes. Simulation results indicate that the performance of the best method depends on system load.

Effective Load Sharing on Heterogeneous Networks of Workstations
We consider networks of workstations which are not only timesharing, but also heterogeneous with a large variation in the computing power and memory capacities of different workstations. Many load sharing schemes mainly target sharing CPU resources, and have been intensively evaluated in homogeneous distributed environments. However, the penalties of data accesses and movement in modern compute...
متن کاملAccurate power sharing for parallel DGs in microgrid with various-type loads
Microgrids are nowadays used to produce electric energy with more efficiency and advantage. However, the use of microgrids presents some challenges. One of the main problems of the microgrids widely used in electrical power systems is the control of voltage, frequency and load sharing balance among inverter- based distributed generators (DGs) in islanded mode. Droop method performance degra...

متن کاملPerformance of Hierarchical Load Sharing in Heterogeneous Distributed Systems
− Performance of distributed systems can be improved by load sharing (i.e., distributing load from heavily loaded nodes to lightly loaded ones). Dynamic load sharing policies take system state into account in making job distribution decisions. The state information can be maintained in one of two basic ways: distributed or centralized. Two examples of distributed policies are the sender-initiat...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Space-Sharing Policy for Heterogeneous Parallel Systems
As the distributed-memory parallel systems become heterogeneous in nature, it is important to devise scheduling policies that take node heterogeneity into account. Previous studies on this topic have focused on homogeneous systems. In this paper, we propose a new two-level space-sharing policy for heterogeneous systems. The proposed policy is an adaptive space-sharing policy that takes system l...
