A Study on Workload Imbalance Issues in Data Intensive Distributed Computing

In recent years, several frameworks have been developed for processing very large quantities of data on large clusters of commodity PCs. These frameworks have focused on fault-tolerance and scalability. However, when using heterogeneous environments these systems do not offer optimal workload balancing. In this paper we present Jumbo, a distributed computation platform designed to explore possible solutions to this issue.
