In this paper a new methodology for load balancing parallel processes on parallel systems is proposed. The problem of load balancing is considered to be an NP-hard optimization task. Taking static parallel tinite element applications as a case study, the benefits and losses that follow from applying the methodology are studied. It is found that the proposed methodology can be especially useful ...

In the current scenario important focus is on the development load balancing algorithms for cloud computing. In this paper, different kinds of load balancing algorithms are analyzed for cloud computing, to make the network load equally divided in order to provide faster connectivity for all the devices that need the service. Among implemented load balancing algorithms, ant colony optimization a...

The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) compliant load balancing mechanism has caught the attention of many researchers in recent years. Load balancing is an issue, which has to be concerned in CORBA architecture. In this paper, we provide an overview of CORBA-based load balancing mechanism. We discuss its requirements, policies, strategies, as well as the pros and cons. We addres...

The objective of this study is to explain mathematically the effect of curvature of horizontal balancing condylar path on that of tooth path. Conclusions from the calculation are; 1. Curvature of tooth path increases similar to that of horizontal balancing condylar path. 2. The relation of curvature between horizontal balancing condylar path and tooth path is hardly affected, even if the direct...

Load balancing in distributed computer systems is the process of redistributing the work load among processors in the system to improve system performance. Most of previous research in using fuzzy logic for the purpose of load balancing has only concentrated in utilizing fuzzy logic concepts in describing processors load and tasks execution length. The responsibility of the fuzzy-based load bal...

Four-bar mechanisms are widely used in the industry especially in rotary engines. These mechanisms are usually applied for attaining a special motion duty like path generation; their high speeds in the industry cause an unbalancing problem. Hence, dynamic balancing is essential for their greater efficiency. In this research study, a multi-objective differential evolution algorithm is used for P...

Network Load balancing is a technique of balancing at each node the number of packets received and the number of packets forward to the other node so that the chance of network congestion problem has been reduced and bandwidth is utilized. Although there are many techniques implemented for the balancing of nodes based on maintaining a routing table at each node and is updated as the packet get ...

Battery packs containing multiple cells in series require a balancing system in order to ensure energy and power requirements for the battery pack are maintained throughout its life. Based on the equivalent circuit model (ECM) of a cell, a new framework is proposed which can accommodate a controloriented model of a balancing system while maintaining the same measured input and output as an ECM....

Video-on-Demand (VoD) has been an active area of research for the past few years in the multimedia research community. Significant research efforts have been directed towards reduction of network bandwidth requirements, improvement of server utilization, and minimization of start-up latency. Server load and network bandwidth are the major performance issues in streaming video over the Internet....

We propose a completely general, informed randomized dynamic load balancing method called random seeking (RS) suitable for parallel algorithms with characteristics found in many search algorithms used in artificial intelligence and operations research and many divide-and-conquer algorithms. In it, source processors randomly seek out sink processors for load balancing by flinging “probe” message...
