Abstract

In distributed systems, uneven arrival of the tasks may overload few hosts keeping rest of the hosts lightly loaded or even idle. This results in overall poor system performance in spite of the system capabilities. To make utilization of capabilities of the distributed systems load balancing can be used. Load balancing always comes with lot of overheads. Here we propose an algorithm based on Differential Load Measurement (DLM) for the load balancing. This algorithm helps us in selecting proper hosts for load balancing which can lead us to performance improvement of the system.
