Load Balancing: Toward the Infinite Network and Beyond

摘要

We present a contribution on dynamic load balancing for distributed and parallel object-oriented applications. We specially target peer-to-peer systems and their capability to distribute parallel computation. Using an algorithm for active-object load balancing, we simulate the balance of a parallel application over a peer-to-peer infrastructure. We tune the algorithm parameters in order to obtain the best performance, concluding that our IFL algorithm behaves very well and scales to large peer-to-peer networks (around 8,000 nodes).
