Abstract-This paper proposes a load balancing algorithm that determines the optimal load for each host so as to minimize the overall mean job response time in a distributed computer system that consists of heterogeneous hosts. The algorithm is a simplified and easily understandable version of the single-point algorithm originally presented by Tantawi and Towsley. Index Terms-Distributed computer systems, local area networks, optimal load, optimal static load balancing, single-point algorithm, star network configurations.
For example, in REF , Kim and Kameda proposed a simplified load balancing algorithm, which targets at the minimizing the overall mean job response time via adjusting the each node's load in a distributed computer system that consists of heterogeneous hosts, based on the single-point algorithm originally presented by Tantawi and Towsley.
