ADAPTLOAD: effective balancing in clustered web servers under transient load conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We focus on adaptive policies for load balancing in clustered web servers, based on the size distribution of the requested documents. The proposed scheduling policy, ADAPTLOAD, adapts its balancing parameters on-the-fly, according to changes in the behavior of the customer population such as fluctuations in the intensity of arrivals or document popularity. Detailed performance comparisons via simulation using traces from the 1998 World Cup show that ADAPTLOAD is robust as it consistently outperforms traditional load balancing policies, especially under conditions of transient overload.

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 کاملAchieving Load Balance and Effective Caching in Clustered Web Servers
This paper considers policies for distributing requests in clustered Web servers, wherein multiple server machines are configured to function as a single high(er) performance Web server. We evaluate various load distribution policies with respect to both their ability to achieve good load balance (the primary goal) and also to their impact on the effectiveness of per-machine caching. Trace-driv...
متن کاملDocument Distribution Algorithm for Load Balancing on an Extensible Web Server Architecture
Access latency and load balancing are the two main issues in the design of clustered Web server architecture for achieving high performance. In this paper, we propose a new document distribution algorithm for load balancing on a cluster of distributed Web servers. We group Web pages that are likely to be accessed during a request session into a migrating unit, which is used as the basic unit of...
متن کاملApplying Linux High-Availability and Load Balancing Servers for Video-on-Demand (VOD) Systems
In this research paper, we integrate and implement High-Availability (HA) and Load-Balancing technologies to clusters of workstations, increasing both the availability and scalability of services and resources in these systems. The cluster of workstations is commonly built and used as web-based VOD servers. Thus, this paper presents the hardware and software configurations of cluster systems wo...
