In this paper, a parallel dynamic load balancing algorithm; which offers a good trade-off between the balancing degree and communication costs; is proposed. The proposed algorithm is analyzed, investigated, and implemented. Also, a new mathematical solution for that algorithm is presented. The analytical solution is tested on standard task graphs (STG) as common test-bed benchmarks. All the different parameters concerned with processors, memory, interconnection networks, and task programs are also presented. The new proposed algorithm is compared and evaluated with a traditional dynamic load balancing one. Experimental results are presented by considering a set of criteria for evaluating the overall performance. Simulation and analytical results proved that the proposed algorithm outperforms the chosen one.
