Load sharing in distributed computer systems
PhD ThesisIn this thesis the problem of load sharing in distributed computer systems is
investigated. Fundamental issues that need to be resolved in order to
implement a load sharing scheme in a distributed system are identified and
possible solutions suggested. A load sharing scheme has been designed and
implemented on an existing Unix United system. The performance of this load
sharing scheme is then measured for different types of programs. It is
demonstrated that a load sharing scheme can be implemented on the Unix
United systems using the existing mechanisms provided by the Newcastle
Connection, and without making any significant changes to the existing
software. It is concluded that under some circumstances a substantial
improvement in the system performance can be obtained by the load sharing
scheme.Science and Engineering Research Counci
