Assembly lines are special flow-lines production systems which are typical in the industrial production of high quantity standardized commodities. Assembly line balancing is based on evenly distribution of operations between workstations so that each idle time of the machines was minimal. It is assumed that operation times on the machines and the precedence relationship existing between the ope...

We study the impact of user association policies on flow-level performance in interference limited wireless networks. Most research in this area has used static interference models (neighboring base stations are always active) and resorted to intuitive objectives such as load balancing. In this paper, we show that this can be counterproductive in the presence of dynamic interference which coupl...

The major goal of dynamic load balancing is not primarily to equalize the load on the nodes of a parallel computing system, but to optimize the average response time of single requests or the throughput of all applications in the system. Therefore it is often necessary not only to keep all processors busy and all processor ready queue lengths within the same range, but to avoid delays and ineff...

Scheduling based on load balancing is a very big riddle in Cloud computing. Various techniques are available to optimize cloud scheduling so as to effectively utilize the cloud resources and thereby improving the response time of the users. Users on request for resources to execute their job, providers either allocate them a new Virtual Machine (VM) or an ideal existing Virtual Machine or sched...

The Spatial Interaction Model proposed by Alonso as “Theory of Movements” offers a new specification of spatial origin-destination flow models. Equations for flows between regions, total outflow from and total inflow to a region are linked by balancing factors. The paper presents a consistent formulation of Spatial Interaction Models in the Wilson tradition and Alonso’s General Theory of Moveme...

Conventional wisdom states that TCP performs poorly when packets arrive out of order. Reordered packets interact poorly with TCP’s fast retransmit mechanism. For this reason, multipath routing is rarely used in the Internet, although it is supported by routers and routing protocols. Data center networks are very different from the Internet, having regular topologies, high-capacitylow-latency li...

The high-speed data flow network always makes a serious performance bottleneck on intrusion detection system, leading to the detector of parallel intrusion detection system load unevenly. Packets cannot be fast through the detection system, the processing time tends to make the network more congested and packet loss rate surged high. To solve this problem, a dynamic forecast load balancing sche...

Web and other Internet-based server farms are a critical company resource. A solution to the increased complexity of server farms and to the need to improve the server performance in terms of scalability, fault tolerance and management is to implement a load balancing technique. It consists of a front-end machine which intelligently redirects the traffic to several Real Servers. We discuss the ...

High performance computing on parallel architectures currently uses different approaches depending on the hardware memory model of the architecture, the abstraction level of the programming environment and the nature of the application. In this paper; we introduce an original client-server execution model based on RPCs called Outof-order parallel Virtual Machine (OVM). OVM aims to provide three...

This study aimed to minimize energy losses in traditional distribution networks and microgrids through a network reconfiguration and phase balancing approach. To address this problem, an algorithm composed of a multi-objective function and operation constraints is proposed. Network connection matrices based on graph theory and the backward/forward sweep method are used to analyze power flow. A ...
