Design and Analysis of a Dynamically Reconfigurable Shared Memory Cluster

In recent years, the clusters have become a viable and less expensive alternative to multiprocessor systems. This paper proposes an architecture with a load balancing and a fault tolerant model for shared memory clusters. A task clustering algorithm, a Centralized dynamic load balancing model, a load balancing algorithm and a fault tolerant model are proposed for shared memory clusters. The results establish the proposed model to provide high runtime availability and efficient load balancing.
