Book Description

Series: Telecommunication Networks and Computer Systems | Publication Date: January 14, 1997

An important consideration in improving the performance of a distributed computer system is the balancing of the load between the host computers. Load balancing may be either static or dynamic; static balancing strategies are generally based on information about the system's average behavior rather than its actual current state, while dynamic strategies react to the current state when making transfer decisions. Although it is often conjectured that dynamic load balancing outperforms static, careful investigation shows that this view is not always valid. Recent research on the problem of optimal static load balancing is clearly and intuitively presented, with coverage of distributed computer system models, problem formulation in load balancing, and effective algorithms for implementing optimization. Providing a thorough understanding of both static and dynamic strategies, this book will be of interest to all researchers and practitioners working to optimize performance in distributed computer systems.

3.0 out of 5 stars good book in designing a load balancing manager, December 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Optimal Load Balancing in Distributed Computer Systems (Telecommunication Networks and Computer Systems) (Hardcover)

i had a project in implementing and designing a load balancing manager used by content serving companies. Well i had that project and believe me this book helped me
