Abstract
This paper proposes a load balancing algorithm that determines the opt imal load for each host so as to minimize the overall mean job respons e time in a distributed computer system that consists of heterogeneous hosts. The algorithm is a simplified and easily understandable versio n of the single-point algorithm originally presented by Tantawi and To wsley.
