Load balancing is a technique in which workload is distributed across multiple computers or other resources to get optimal resource utilization, minimum time delay, maximize throughput and avoid overload. Mainly in operation of parallel and distributed computing systems, load balancing problem arises. Load balancing scheme can be characterized as: static and dynamic load balancing. This paper r...

This paper is devoted to static load balancing techniques for mapping iterative algorithms onto heterogeneous clusters. The application data is partitioned over the processors. At each iteration, independent calculations are carried out in parallel, and some communications take place. The question is to determine how to slice the application data into chunks, and to assign these chunks to the p...

We consider the partial hedging of stochastic electricity load pattern with static forward strategies. We assume that the company under consideration maximizes the risk adjusted expected value of its electricity cash flows. First, we calculate an optimal hedge ratio and after that we use this hedge ratio to solve the optimal hedging time. Our results indicate, for instance that agents with high...

− At PTB, one designed and investigated measurement setups to determine the deformation of force transducers while applying a static or dynamic force. To measure the deformation, a differential vibrometer [1] is used which is integrated in the measurement setups. Using the deformation results one is able to calculate the transducers stiffness. An evaluation of the measurement uncertainty is pre...

The joined-wing is a new concept of the airplane wing. The fore-wing and the aft-wing are joined together in a joined-wing. The range and loiter are longer than those of a conventional wing. The joined-wing can lead to increased aerodynamic performance and reduction of the structural weight. In this research, dynamic response optimization of a joined-wing is carried out by using equivalent stat...

Distributed Real Time System (DRTS) provides enormous platform for parallel applications. It is an alternative for highly expensive parallel machines. Task allocation for parallel applications over it, is a crucial phase where strategy for task allocation should be chosen to maximize the throughput and enhance the overall processor utilization. Task allocation is NP-hard or NP-complete problem....

In this paper, we present a game theoretic approach to solve the static load balancing problem for singleclass and multi-class (multi-user) jobs in a distributed system where the computers are connected by a communication network. The objective of our approach is to provide fairness to all the jobs (in a singleclass system) and the users of the jobs (in a multi-user system). To provide fairness...

In this paper, we present two diierent path ordering algorithms whose aim is balancing the load among network links when used in conjunction with static routing algorithms. Both algorithms have the same aim, but use diierent heuristics to obtain it. A new formalism based on set theory is deened in order to allow a formal description of the two algorithms. The rst selection criterion we deene tr...
