We present an analytic technique for modeling load balancing policies on a cluster of servers conditioned on the fact that the service times of arriving tasks are drawn from heavy...
Users of highly popular Web sites may experience long delays when accessing information. Upgrading content site infrastructure from a single node to a locally distributed Web clus...

Abstract--A framework for designing feedback-based scheduling algorithms is proposed for elegantly solving the notorious packet missequencing problem of a load-balanced switch. Unl...
In this paper, we propose an equivalent model in a serial queue for representing the serial connection of the load balancer and a Web server of the Web cluster. We have set up an ...
Recent work in high-performance computing has shifted attention to PC clusters.. For PC-clusters, member nodes are independent computers connected by generalpurpose networks. The ...
