异构分布式系统中基于负载均衡的容错调度算法

提出了基于主/从版本的具有容错功能的进程调度算法HDALF和HDLDF,且分别给出两种算法的时间复杂度并对算法的负载均衡性和节点资源利用率作了讨论.与以往容错调度算法不同的是,此算法是在被动进程复制模式下、适合于异构分布式系统的容错调度算法.而以往的研究都是建立在主从版本进程有相等的负载或执行时间相同的模型基础上,或者仅适合于同构分布式系统.实验结果表明,HDALF算法和HDLDF算法的性能比基于同构分布式模型下的两阶段算法更加优越.并且得出了这样的结果：当系统发生故障前后的负载均衡性权值相等时,在负载均衡和处理机资源利用率方面,HDLDF算法都要优于HDALF算法.

基于流映射的负载均衡调度算法研究

网络管理者需要能够提供可扩展性、吞吐率保证及报文顺序的高性能路由器体系结构.目前基于Crossbar的集中式路由器体系结构难以实现性能和规模的可扩展,基于两级Mesh网络的负载均衡交换结构成为扩展Internet路由器容量的有效的途径.负载均衡路由器存在严重的报文乱序现象,输出端报文重定序复杂度为O(N2).文中提出一种区域均等的负载均衡交换结构,每k个连续的中间级输入端口划分为一个区域,输入端采用基于流映射的负载分配算法UFFS-k(Uniform Fine-grain Frame Spreading,k为聚合粒度,简称UFFS-k),在k个连续的外部时间槽,以细粒度的方式将同一条流的k个信元分派到固定的映射区域,通过理论证明,该调度策略可获得100%吞吐率并能够保证报文的顺序.为避免流量区域集中现象,采用双循环(dual-rotation)方式构建不同输入端口的流到区域的映射关系;为实现负载在中间级输入端口的均衡分布,每个输入端口维护全局统一视图的流量分布矩阵,UFFS-k调度算法根据流量分布矩阵调度单位帧,可以证明,对任意输出端口j,同一区域OQj队列长度相同且不同区域OQj队列长度至多差1,从而实现了100%负载均衡度.UFFS-k调度算法分布于每个输入端口独立执行,根据流到区域的映射关系及负载分布状态分派信元,模拟结果显示,当聚合粒度k=2时,UFFS-k算法在同类维序算法中表现出最优延迟性能.

An enhanced load balancing mechanism based on deadline control on GridSim

A Grid is a network of computational resources that may potentially span many continents. Load balancing in a Grid is a hot research issue which affects every aspect of the Grid, including service selection and task execution. Thus, it is necessary and significant to solve the load balancing problem in a Grid. In this paper, we propose a dynamic, distributed load balancing scheme for a Grid which provides deadline control for tasks. In our scenario, first, resources check their state and make a request to the Grid Broker according to the change of load state. Then, the Grid Broker assigns Gridlets between resources and scheduling for load balancing under the deadline request. We apply our load balancing strategy into a popular Grid simulation platform GridSim. Experimental results prove that our proposed load balancing mechanism can (1) reduce the makespan, (2) improve the finished rate of the Gridlet, and (3) reduce the resubmitted time.     

Online vector scheduling and generalized load balancing

We give a polynomial time reduction from the vector scheduling problem (VS) to the generalized load balancing problem (GLB). This reduction gives the first non-trivial online algorithm for VS where vectors come in an online fashion. The online algorithm is very simple in that each vector only needs to minimize the _Lln(md)$L_{ln\left(md\right)}$ norm of the resulting load when it comes, where m$m$ is the number of partitions and d$d$ is the dimension of vectors. It has an approximation bound of elog(md)$elog\left(md\right)$, which is in O(ln(md))$O(ln\left(md\right))$, so it also improves the O(ln²d)$O\left({ln}^{2}d\right)$ bound of the existing polynomial time algorithm for VS. Additionally, the reduction shows that GLB does not have constant approximation algorithms that run in polynomial time unless P=NP$P=NP$.     

Resource scheduling and load balancing in distributed robotic control systems

This paper describes the latest advances made to a software architecture designed to control multiple miniature robots. As the robots themselves have very limited computational capabilities, a distributed control system is needed to coordinate tasks among a large number of robots. Two of the major challenges facing such a system are the scheduling of access to system resources and the distribution of work across multiple workstations. This paper discusses solutions to these problems in the context of a distributed surveillance task.

A new analytical method for parallel,diffusion-type load balancing

We propose a new proof technique which can be used to analyse many parallel load balancing algorithms. The technique is designed to handle concurrent load balancing actions, which are often the main obstacle in the analysis. We demonstrate the usefulness of the approach by analysing various natural diffusion-type protocols. Our results are similar to, or better than, previously existing ones, while our proofs are much easier.     

A topology-aware load balancing algorithm for clustered hierarchical multi-core machines

In this paper, we present a topology-aware load balancing algorithm for parallel multi-core machines and its proof of asymptotic convergence to an optimal solution. The algorithm, named HwTopoLB, aims to improve the application performance by reducing core idleness and communication delays. HwTopoLB was designed taking into account the properties of current parallel systems composed of multi-core compute nodes, namely their network interconnection, and their complex and hierarchical core topology. The latter comprises multiple levels of cache, and a memory subsystem with NUMA design. These systems provide high processing power at the expense of asymmetric communication costs, which can hamper the performance of parallel applications depending on their communication patterns if ignored. Our load balancing algorithm models asymmetries in terms of latencies and bandwidths, representing the distances and communication costs among hardware components. We have implemented HwTopoLB using the Charm++ Parallel Runtime System and evaluated its performance with two different benchmarks and one application. Our experimental results with HwTopoLB exhibit scalability over clustered multi-core compute nodes, and average performance improvements of 23% over execution without load balancers and 19% over the existing load balancing strategies on different multi-core systems.     

Communication cost effective scheduling policies of nonclairvoyant jobs with load balancing in a grid

Effective load distribution is of great importance at grids, which are complex heterogeneous distributed systems. In this paper we study site allocation scheduling of nonclairvoyant jobs in a 2-level heterogeneous grid architecture. Three scheduling policies at grid level which utilize site load information are examined. The aim is the reduction of site load information traffic, while at the same time mean response time of jobs and fairness in utilization between the heterogeneous sites are of great interest. A simulation model is used to evaluate performance under various conditions. Simulation results show that considerable decrement in site load information traffic and utilization fairness can be achieved at the expense of a slight increase in response time.     

Join-Idle-Queue: A novel load balancing algorithm for dynamically scalable web services

The prevalence of dynamic-content web services, exemplified by search and online social networking, has motivated an increasingly wide web-facing front end. Horizontal scaling in the Cloud is favored for its elasticity, and distributed design of load balancers is highly desirable. Existing algorithms with a centralized design, such as Join-the-Shortest-Queue (JSQ), incur high communication overhead for distributed dispatchers.We propose a novel class of algorithms called Join-Idle-Queue (JIQ) for distributed load balancing in large systems. Unlike algorithms such as Power-of-Two, the JIQ algorithm incurs no communication overhead between the dispatchers and processors at job arrivals. We analyze the JIQ algorithm in the large system limit and find that it effectively results in a reduced system load, which produces 30-fold reduction in queueing overhead compared to Power-of-Two at medium to high load. An extension of the basic JIQ algorithm deals with very high loads using only local information of server load.     

Joint scheduling and routing algorithm with load balancing in wireless mesh network

Wireless mesh network (WMN) is a promising solution for last mile broadband internet access. Mesh nodes or mesh routers are connected via wireless links to form a multi-hop backbone infrastructure and improving throughput is the primary goal. While previous works mainly focused on either link level protocol design or complex mathematical model, in this paper, we investigate the performance gains from jointly optimizing scheduling and routing in a multi-radio, multi-channel and multi-hop wireless mesh network. Then, two optimization objectives are addressed by considering wireless media contention and spatial multiplexing. The first objective is to maximize throughput by exploiting spatial reuse while the second one is to ensure fairness among different links. We design a cross-layer algorithm by considering both MAC layer and network layer. Simulation results show that our joint optimization algorithm can significantly increase throughput as well as fairness.
