Grid and HPC Dynamic Load Balancing with Lattice Boltzmann Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Both in High Performance Computing and in Grid computing dynamic load balancing is becoming one of the most important features. In this paper, we present a novel load balancing model based on Lattice Boltzmann Cellular Automata. Using numerical simulations our model is compared to diffusion algorithms adopted on HPC load balancing and to agent-based balancing strategies on Grid systems. We show how the proposed model generally gives better performances for both the considered scenarios.

A Grid-Enabled Lattice-Boltzmann-Based Modelling System
Lattice-Boltzmann (LB) methods are a well-known technique in the context of computational fluid dynamics. By nature, they can easily be parallelized but their adaptation to the Grid environment is not trivial due to hardware heterogeneity (CPU, memory. . . ) in a Grid. A load balancing method to dynamically handle the differences in terms of CPU number and power among the machines of a Grid is ...
متن کاملLoad Balancing Approaches for Web Servers: A Survey of Recent Trends
Numerous works has been done for load balancing of web servers in grid environment. Reason behinds popularity of grid environment is to allow accessing distributed resources which are located at remote locations. For effective utilization, load must be balanced among all resources. Importance of load balancing is discussed by distinguishing the system between without load balancing and with loa...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Fluid Flow Past a Square Cylinder Using a Lattice Boltzmann Method
The method of lattice boltzmann equation(LBE) is a kinetic-based approach for fluid flow computations. In the last decade, minimal kinetic models, and primarily the LBE, have met with significant success in the simulation of complex hydrodynamic phenomena, ranging from slow flows in grossly irregular geometries to fully developed turbulence, to flow with dynamic phase transitions. In the presen...
متن کاملArchitecture of a Grid-enabled Lattice-Boltzmann Middleware
Lattice-Boltzmann (LB) simulation methods constitute a family of computational fluid dynamics methods that can deal with complex multiphysics models and are easily parallelizable. They are based on modified lattice-gas automata [1]. The algorithm of LB simulations is quite simple. Space is discretized into a lattice. Each node of this lattice has a state. This state indicates the proportion of ...
