Abstract. Load-Balancing is a significant problem in heterogeneous distributed systems. There exist many load balancing algorithms, however, most approaches are very problem speci...
—Load balancing is a common approach for task assignment in distributed architectures. In this paper, we show that the degree of inefficiency in load balancing designs is highly...
1 Since I/O-intensive tasks running on a heterogeneous cluster need a highly effective usage of global I/O resources, previous CPUor memory-centric load balancing schemes suffer ...

The structured peer-to-peer system, which is based on the distributed hash table, offers an administration-free and fault-tolerant application-level overlay network. However, a ra...
Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) with order-preserving hash functions require load balancing to ensure an even item-load over all nodes. While previous item-balancing algorithms only...
