Claim:
A non-transitory computer-accessible medium having executable instructions to manage healthcare-related computing resources, the executable instructions capable of directing a processor to perform: receiving load-balancing criteria that indicates a projected load for each of a plurality of dynamic client-server healthcare applications based on at least a user-type associated with the healthcare applications, wherein at least one of the plurality of dynamic client-server healthcare applications performs at least one of contouring anatomical regions from a medical image or creating a plurality of graphical objects of related anatomical regions; and load-balancing the plurality of dynamic client-server healthcare applications across a plurality of healthcare-related computing resources in reference to the load-balancing criteria such that at least one healthcare application having a heavy projected load is processed by one of the healthcare related computing resources having a current load that is lower than current loads of the other healthcare related computing resources, wherein the load-balancing criteria further indicates historical statistics describing at least one load that the user-type has placed on the healthcare-related computing resources, wherein the healthcare-related computing resources further comprise at least one of a separate motherboard, daughterboard, CPU cores, or GPUs in a computer system, or a separate computer node in a cluster of computers.
