A distributed dynamic load balancer for iterative applications
Harshitha Menon, Laxmikant V. Kalé · 2013
For many applications, computation load varies over time. Such applications require dynamic load balancing to improve performance. Centralized load balancing schemes, which perform the load balancing decisions at a central location, are not scalable. In contrast, fully distributed strategies are scalable but typically do not produce a balanced work distribution as they tend to consider only local information.
