Balancer chromosomes are multiply inverted and rearranged chromosomes used in Drosophila melanogaster for many tasks, such as maintaining mutant alleles in stock and complex stock construction. Balancers were created before molecular characterization of their breakpoints was possible, so the precise locations of many of these breakpoints are unknown. Here, we report or confirm the positions of ...

That a load balancing strategy using stale information carelessly will incur system performance degradation is easy to verify. However it is not so obvious that routing a customer to the expected shortest queue has the same problem when information for decision is stale. We consider a queueing system with a load balancer and a pool of identical FCFS queues in parallel. The arrival process is as...

The paper addresses the issues of invoking services from within workflows which are becoming an increasingly popular paradigm of distributed programming. The main idea of our research is to develop a facility which enables load balancing between the available services and their instances. The system consists of three main modules: a proxy generator for a specific service according to its interf...

— Dynamic virtual machine migration is a key technique technology in the cloud computing, an algorithm is proposed in this thesis, which is a dynamic resource scheduling based on minimum load imbalancing measurement. First of all, load balancer in scheduler judges the overload phenomenon; we need to migrate VM (Virtual Machine) on physical machine. Then, according to the records in load balanc...

Load balancing is an important issue in parallel numerical simulations. However, state-of-the-art libraries addressing this problem show several deficiencies: they are hard to parallelize, focus on small edgecuts rather than few boundary vertices, and often produce disconnected partitions. We present a distributed implementation of a load balancing heuristic for parallel adaptive FEM simulation...

We develop a novel load-balancing packet scheduler for parallel forwarding systems. By investigating flow level characteristics of Internet traffic, we are able to trace the root for load imbalance in hash-based loadsplitting schemes. Our scheduler capitalizes on the non-uniform flow reference pattern and especially the presence of a few high-rate flows in typical Internet traffic mix. We show ...
