Analytical Modeling for Dynamics Load Balancing Strategies
Abstract:
This research aimed to develop an analytical model that can be used to predict the loadbalancing performance as well as to select an appropriate load balancing techniques fordifferent types of applications. We, first, studied the load balancing concept byexperiments. Three methods, namely, Hierarchical Balancing, Dimensional Exchange,and Diffusion, were studied. Performance of each method, when applied to algorithmof different types, was recorded and analyzed. Then, based on these data, the analyticalmodel was developed. The concept of asymptotic notation (Big Oh), was applied tomodel the load balancing algorithm performance. The coefficients were then calibratedusing the linear regression technique. Our model can be used to predict the parallelperformance with less than 10 percent error in most scenarios. We believe that themodel can benefit the parallel algorithm design in the future.
