This paper describes a load balance routine which has been developed for the NAG Parallel Library. This routine is designed for load balance problems where each task can be computed independently and allows the user to choose from a number of diierent load balance strategies. The beneets of this routine are discussed in terms of both performance and ease of use, and results are presented for a ...

| Parallel scheduling is a new approach for load balancing. In parallel scheduling, all processors cooperate to schedule work. Parallel scheduling is able to accurately balance the load by using global load information at compile-time or runtime. It provides high-quality load balancing. This paper presents an overview of the parallel scheduling technique. Scheduling algorithms for tree, hypercu...

Today MPLS-TE is one of the hot technologies which every major carrier has selected for its network infrastructure. Some of the key reasons for the high level of interest in MPLS-TE include the requirements of critical network applications in the areas of link capacity and network connectivity. MPLS-TE is able to handle various paths along different routes to balance the traffic load between tw...

Opportunistic routing (OR) has been proposed to improve the performance of wireless networks by exploiting the multi-user diversity and broadcast nature of the wireless medium. It involves multiple candidate forwarders to relay packets every hop. The existing OR doesn’t take account of the traffic load and load balance, therefore some nodes may be overloaded while the others may not, leading to...

It is significant to apply load-balancing strategy to improve the performance and reliability of resource in data centers. One of the challenging scheduling problems in Cloud data centers is to take the allocation and migration of reconfigurable virtual machines (VMs) as well as the integrated features of hosting physical machines (PMs) into consideration. In the reservation model, the workload...

In structured P2P overlay networks, nodes and objects are assigned unique IDs in the same identifier space by using a consistent hashing function, and have been known to result in an imbalance factor of O(log n), where n is the number of nodes in the systems. Further imbalance may become severely due to the heterogeneity of objects loads and nodes capacities, and dynamic of objects and nodes in...

This study investigated the effect of the presence or absence of load knowledge on the low-back loading and the control of balance in lifting tasks. Low-back loading was quantified by the net sagittal plane torque at the lumbo-sacral joint. The control of balance was studied by the position of the centre of gravity relative to the base of support, the horizontal and vertical momentum of the cen...

An overlay multicast is proposed to solve the scalability and deployment problems in IP Multicast. We propose a scheme, Topology-aware Load-balance Hierarchical Independent Tree (TLHIT), with topology-aware, load-balance and path diversity properties to improve the performance of overlay multicast. Compared to traditional methods, the proposed TLHIT constructs not only node-disjoint but also pa...
