Condition-based load balancing algorithm in distributed rendering
Jiyu Mao, Shuang Feng · 2018
The state-of -art in load balancing algorithm, most of them propose dynamic load balancing based on weights or adaptation, in order to improve the execution efficiency in a distributed environment. However, these algorithms usually only perform statistics on the running state of the nodes in the cluster during the initial statistics of the task, or on the real-time running status of the nodes in the cluster at runtime. This dissertation focuses on the complicated computing and the high requirements on the hardware requirements of the nodes rendering tasks. It proposes a dynamic load balancing algorithm based on conditional hierarchy which comprehensively considers the complexity of rendering tasks, the initial and immediate hardware status of the nodes. Through the experimental comparison, the proposed algorithm which has a certain role in promoting the scientific construction of distributed rendering system architecture can effectively improve the efficiency of the rendering task in distributed environment, and reduce the communication times between the master control node and the nodes in cluster.
