In cluster-based storage systems, the metadata server cluster must be able to adaptively distribute responsibility for metadata to maintain high system performance and long-term l...
We study the problem of scheduling permanent jobs on unrelated machines when the objective is to minimize the Lp norm of the machine loads. The problem is known as load balancing ...
