Load Balancing Algorithm Based on Services
Yufang Zhang · Journal of Information and Computational Science · 2013
In this paper, we present a dynamic load balancing algorithm based on the service types and load at each node in order to solve the load balancing issue for clusters. We choose proper parameters to calculate the load at each node so that each service obtains a unique status, which makes the distributions of tasks different, thus the server cluster is used adequately. We use random probability distribution to ensure uniform load distribution. We also utilize load increment and correction to guarantee system stability. Our simulations in OPNET show that the algorithm can effectively improve the load balancing efficiency.
