Load Balancing Algorithm In Distributed Network

Abstract

The communication made to update the system status is an overhead and can degrade the system's
performance. Reducing the communication overhead in load balancing algorithms to balance a
distributed system is a challenging task. In a distributed system, the nodes may be of different
computing capacity. Assigning the workload to the computing nodes according to their computing
capacity will increase the system performance. To transfer the workload according to computing
capacity, there is a need to make a priority list of computing nodes. It is beneficial to prioritize the
processors based on their computing power and transfer the workload from a heavily loaded system to a
lightly loaded system. This strategy can reduce response time and provides better resource utilization.
