Scalability becomes the basic need for distributed systems. With the increase of users, load on application servers also keep increasing. This requires a critical action to balance the load on servers. Load balancing is the concept of balancing load on servers using various load balancing techniques. In this paper we discuss various load-balancing techniques that are currently available. We dis...

This paper proposes a technique for load balancing on symmetric multiprocessor systems, where tasks are placed in queues for being processed. Load balancing on processers was run using the RED algorithm and fuzzy system. This system which involves three threads and load balancing was carried out based on these threads. Load balancing operation was carried out in symmetric processers. Load balan...
