20th Annual IEEE International Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN'95) Quasi-static load balancing in local area networks Minneapolis, Minnesota October 16-October 19 ISBN: 0-8186-7162-9
A network of LAN-connected workstations provides the means for load balancing (LB) between computers. For a system consisting of N stations connected by a multiaccess network the optimal, quasistatic, iterative, distributed load balancing algorithm for a general system-wide cost function is set up. The algorithm is based on the gradient projection optimization method using information about sensitivity of the performance measure with respect to the task flows. A simple heuristics to accelerate the convergence is proposed.
