Title Global dynamic load - balancing for decentralised distributedsimulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distributed simulations require partitioning mechanisms to operate, and the best partitioning algorithms try to load-balance the partitions. Dynamic load-balancing, i.e. re-partitioning simulation environments at run-time, becomes essential when the load in the partitions change. In decentralised distributed simulation the information needed to dynamically load-balance seems difficult to collect and to our knowledge, all solutions apply a local dynamic load balancing: partitions exchange load only with their neighbours (more loaded partitions to less loaded ones). This limits the effect of the load-balancing. In this paper, we present a global dynamic load-balancing of decentralised distributed simulations. Our algorithm collects information in a decentralised fashion and makes re-balancing decisions based on the load processed by every logical processes. While our algorithm has similar results to others in most cases, we show an improvement of the load-balancing up to 30% in some challenging scenarios against only 12.5% for a local dynamic load-balancing.

Distributed-controlled dynamic load balancing algorithms are known to have several advantages over centralised algorithms such as scalability, and fault tolerance. Distributed implies that the control is decentralised and that a copy of the algorithm (called a scheduler) is replicated on each host of the network. However, distributed control also contributes to the lack of global goals and lack...

With the rapid development of high-speed wide-area networks and powerful yet low-cost computational resources, grid computing has emerged as an attractive computing paradigm. The space limitations of conventional distributed systems can thus be overcome, to fully exploit the resources of under-utilised computing resources in every region around the world for distributed jobs. Workload and resou...
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...
