Title
Analysis of the effects of system parameters on load balancing
Abstract
A simulation model is constructed for the performance analysis of an adaptive load balancing policy in distributed systems. So as to analyze a practical model, the service time distribution is extended beyond the exponential case. To investigate the effects of the network interface processor and the variation of task service demand on system performance, comparative results are obtained from a large set of input parameters. The simulation results show that the performance of the load balancing policy is sensitive to the system parameters, and the performance improvement is much more pronounced as the variation of task service demand increases. For systems without network interface processors, the optimal discipline is the I/O first policy. Furthermore, the I/O processor can improve the system performance significantly.
