Abstract

A computational grid is a widespread computing environment that provides huge computational power for large-scale distributed applications. Load balancing, has a considerable effect on the grid middleware performance. Current load balancing methods cannot satisfy all necessities for the grid. In this paper, a Multi-level Load Balancing Method (MLBM) is proposed. Cooperation among different levels in this method, removes disadvantages of each level, while satisfy most of load balancing requirements needed. Simulation results indicate that this new mechanism surpasses its predecessors in increasing efficiency and decreasing communication overhead.
