Simulation of Dynamic Load Balancing Algorithms

Abstract

Cloud computing is a new technology which uses virtual machines instead of physical machines to host, store and network different components. Load balancing is a methodology to distribute workload across multiple computers, or other resources over the network links to achieve optimal resource utilization, minimum data processing time, minimum average response time, and avoid overload. The load balancing is to be done properly to gain maximum throughput and performance of cloud. Here we have considered two load balancing algorithms Equally spread current Execution algorithm and Throttled load balancing algorithm and made performance analysis of these algorithms using cloudanalyst.In Section I we gave brief introduction about load balancing in cloud computing. In section II we made a survey of Load balancing algorithms. We explained the two dynamic load balancing algorithms in section III. In section IV we introduced a simulation tool cloud Analyst and in next section V we analyzed the performance of algorithms.

Dynamic Load Balancing in Cloud Computing: A Review and a Novel Approach

“…Its main objective is to effectively manage the workload among different cloud nodes, thereby preventing any node from being overloaded or underutilized. Enhanced resource allocation and improved user satisfaction are the advantages of achieving a more efficient distribution of workloads [4]. In order to improve the performance of cloud-based applications and find solutions to load balancing problems, it is important.…”

Load balancing-based Optimization Techniques in Cloud Computing: A Review

“…This opens up new possibilities and economies of scale but also brings its own set of difficulties. Cloud computing has many important features, but load balancing is one of the most important [5]. It's a system that evenly distributes the local jobs across all of the cloud nodes such that no one set of machines is ever significantly busier than the others.…”
