The utilization of the limited resources of a multiprocessor or multicomputer system is a primary performance issue crucial for the design of many scheduling algorithms. While many of the existing parallel machines benefit from a regular product network topology, almost none of the previous resource placement techniques have come to recognize and exploit this inherent regularity. This paper introduces some novel algorithms for deriving resource placement schemes in product networks based on the assumed perfect resource placement in their underling basic graphs.
Different models for load balancing have been proposed before, each of which has its own features and advantages when considered for a specific scenario. Yet, nearly all of the existing techniques have assumed an oversimplified model of the system which is often not the case of the real world. In this paper, a new gradient based algorithm for dynamic load balancing on multiprocessors is proposed. This algorithm is an analogy of a classical physical model of a Particle & Plane system which operates based on the classic laws of physics dictated by the nature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
