Genetic Algorithm for optimizing load distribution on Video on Demand Servers
Yadav Aruna, Kumar Sanjeev · 2012
As internet usage is increasing day by day web services are expanding very fast. Video on demand servers have heavy web traff ic .To speed up the growth of web traffic the concept of load balancer was introduced. The role of load balancer is to distribute the tasks among the web servers efficiently. The most popular algorithms used for distributing the load are: FCFS, Genetic, Randomized and Heuristic algorithms. Performance of algorithms is calculated on the basis of makespan and average resource utilization. Genetic algorithm is giving better result over other server selecton techniques. Genetic algorithm gave lower makespan and higher resource utilization.
