Distributed processing can be used for solving large computation intensive problems. A distributed system may include parallel supercomputers, networked workstations and PCs. This paper discusses load balancing of a parallel job in a distributed computation environment. The information necessary for load balancing is studied. The software tools that automatically collect the information and per...

As IPv6 deployment grows, it is important to develop new measurement techniques that allow us to study the IPv6 Internet. We implement an IPv6 version of the Multipath Detection Algorithm and use it from 12 geographically-distributed vantage points on two different platforms to characterize IPv6 routers that perform load balancing. Overall, we find that 74% of IPv6 routes traverse at least one ...

In order to reduce the unbalance vibration of the rotating machinery automatically during the work process, a new type of liquid-transfer active balancing system was proposed. In the system, a balancing disc divided into four liquid storage chambers was mounted on the rotor. When the unbalance response of the rotating machinery was higher than the limiting value, compressed air was injected to ...

This paper presents a simple load balancing algorithm and its probabilistic analysis. Unlike most of the previous load balancing algorithms, this algorithm maintains locality. We show that the cost of this load balancing algorithm is small for practical situations and discuss some interesting applications for data remapping. Index Terms Data locality, irregularity, load balancing, mapping, prob...

Coupled human balancing tasks are investigated on the basis of both pseudo-neural controllers characterized by time-delayed feedback with random gain and natural human balancing tasks. It is numerically shown that in comparison to single balancing tasks, balancing tasks coupled by mechanical structures increase the stability of balancing errors in terms of both amplitude and velocity and also i...

Structured peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks like Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) map data items to the network based on a consistent hashing function. Such mapping for data distribution has an inherent load balance problem. Thus, a load balancing mechanism is an indispensable part of a structured P2P overlay network for high performance. The rapid development of P2P systems has posed challeng...
