ÐLoad-balancing problems arise in many applications, but, most importantly, they play a special role in the operation of parallel and distributed computing systems. Load-balancing deals with partitioning a program into smaller tasks that can be executed concurrently and mapping each of these tasks to a computational resource such a processor (e.g., in a multiprocessor system) or a computer (e.g...

Design of an avalanche photodiode with high gain and low noise that can achieve single photon counting is a research application of the drift-diffusion model. System-level load balancing when combined with application-level load balancing is shown to improve the performance of simulation code on a Linux cluster supercomputer. The two forms of load balancing are required to approach a smooth inc...

The grid and cluster computing uses interconnected nodes to solve a problem in parallel in order to improve the response time of the system. Diffusive load balancing algorithms works well when the nodes in the system have the same processing capacity. But little attention was paid in diffusion load balancing algorithms in the literature for distributing the workload in the nodes with different ...

In all multilevel topology with several DC link, the voltage balancing problem of DC capacitors is a key problem. This paper proposes a new topology of chopper circuit for dc capacitor voltage balancing in diode clamped multilevel inverters (DCMLI). In the presented topology the number of switches is reduced respect to other proposed topology in literatures. Suggested topology is modular and ha...

Load balancing middleware is used extensively to improve scalability and overall system throughput in distributed systems. Many load balancing middleware services are simplistic, however, since they are geared only for specific usecases and environments. These limitations make it hard to use the same load balancing service for anything other than the distributed application it was designed for ...

In distributed computing systems, load balancing is one of the most important factors that affect the system performance. This paper presents a sender-initiated dynamic load balancing policies in a distributed computing system. There are four policies consisted in the proposed Extenics-based Load Balancing Mechanism (ELBM). For the transfer policy, instead of defining a fixed threshold value in...

This paper presents an LQR-Based 6DOF control of an unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), namely a small-scale quadrocopter. Due to its high nonlinearity and a high degree of coupling system, the control of an UAV is very challenging. quadrocopter trajectory tracking in a 3D space is greatly affected by the quadrocopter balancing around its roll-pitch-yaw frame. Lack of precise tracking control about...

In a distributed network of computing hosts, the performance of the system can depend crucially on dividing up work effectively across the participating nodes. Dynamic load balancing have the potential of performing better than static strategies, they are inevitably more complex. The overheads involved are much more. But one can not negate their benefits. Load balancing is found to reduce signi...
