Efficient Load Balancing Algorithm in Cloud Environment

Load balancing is the process of distributing the load among various nodes of a distributed system to improve both resource utilization and job response time while also avoiding a situation where some of the nodes are heavily loaded while other nodes are idle or doing very little work. This paper presents an approach for scheduling algorithms that can maintain the load balancing and provides better improved strategies through efficient job scheduling and modified resource allocation techniques. We present benchmarks for the algorithms to show their capabilities. The metric used is throughput and response time. Benchmark workload is synthetic to highlight many aspects of balancing load correctly. From the benchmarks and by analysing the different algorithms we will show a simple algorithm that is platform independent, easy to implement and has the best performance of any of the algorithms implemented.
