Effective load balancing for cluster-based servers employing job preemption
V Ungureanu, B Melamed, M Katehakis - Performance Evaluation, 2008 - Elsevier
A cluster-based server consists of a front-end dispatcher and multiple back-end servers. The
dispatcher receives incoming jobs, and then decides how to assign them to back-end
servers, which in turn serve the jobs according to some discipline. Cluster-based servers
have been widely deployed, as they combine good performance with low costs. Several
assignment policies have been proposed for cluster-based servers, most of which aim to
balance the load among back-end servers. There are two main strategies for load balancing …
