Batch processing, a primary mode of computing in mainframes and supercomputers, is becoming important for networked systems as the computing environments become more and more distributed. In this paper, we discuss the architectural and design considerations , and some important implementation issues of Lsbatch, a distributed batch system for large{scale, heterogeneous computer systems. Lsbatch ...

A dynamic model of multiple-stage planetary gear train composed of a two-stage planetary gear train and a one-stage parallel axis gear is proposed to be used in wind driven generator to analyze the influence of revolution speed and mesh error on dynamic load sharing characteristic based on the lumped parameter theory. Dynamic equation of the model is solved using numerical method to analyze the...

The Inter feeder Power Flow Regulator (IFPFR) proposed in this paper consists of several voltage source inverters with common dc bus; each inverter is connected in series with one of different independent distribution feeders in the power system. This paper is concerned with how to transfer power between the feeders for load sharing purpose. The power controller of each inverter injects the pow...

Recently Gerald Ash has shown through case studies that event dependent routing is attractive in large scale multi-service MPLS networks. In this paper, we consider the application of Load Shared Sequential Routing (LSSR) in MPLS networks where the load sharing factors are updated using reinforcement learning techniques. We present algorithms based on learning automata techniques for optimizing...

In this paper, two centrifugal model tests (case 1: raft foundation, case 2: 2x2 piled raft foundation) were conducted in order to evaluate the effect of ground subsidence on load sharing among piles and raft and settlement of raft and piled raft foundations. For each case, two conditions consisting of undrained (without groundwater pumping) and drained (with groundwater pumping) conditions wer...

we can improve the performance of distributed systems by load sharing (i.e., distribute load from heavily loaded nodes to lightly loaded ones). Adaptive load sharing policies take system state into account in making job distribution decisions. We can maintain the state information in one of two basic ways: distributed or centralized. This paper discuss on distributed systems which rely on eithe...

The survivability or resilience of a network refers to network performance during abnormal operating modes. Network design for survivability is usually constrained by cost. For mobile networks an overriding constraint is the limit placed on radio-level capacity by a regulated frequency spectrum. We propose a load-sharing cell-site architecture and a novel load-based channel allocation scheme wh...

A network of UNIX [Ritchie, 1974] workstations is becoming a common sight in modern computing environments. Each workstation provides powerful computing resources which are periodically in strong demand by the local user. However even in busy environments, a significant proportion of these machines will be idle or underutilized at any one time. By supplementing the local computing resources thr...

In this paper, we investigate optimal load balancing strategies for a multi-class multi-server processor-sharing system with a Poisson input stream, heterogeneous service rates, and a server-dependent holding cost per unit time. Specifically, we study (i) the centralized setting in which a dispatcher routes incoming jobs based on their service time requirements so as to minimize the weighted me...
