- Load balancing is a crucial issue in parallel and distributed systems to ensure fast processing and optimum utilization of computing resources. Load balancing strategies try to e...
Dynamic load balancing(DLB) for parallel systems has been studied extensively; however, DLB for distributed systems is relatively new. To efficiently utilize computing resources p...
HeteroSort load balances and sorts within static or dynamic networks using a conceptual torus mesh. We ported HeteroSort to a 16-node Beowulf cluster with a central switch architec...

Abstract—Parallel file systems are designed to mask the everincreasing gap between CPU and disk speeds via parallel I/O processing. While they have become an indispensable compo...
In this paper, a new I/O-aware load-balancing scheme is presented to improve overall performance of a distributed system with a general and practical workload including I/O activi...
