Load balancing plays a critical role in efficiently dispatching jobs in parallel-server systems such as cloud networks and data centers. A fundamental challenge in the design of load balancing algorithms is to achieve an optimal trade-off…
E-science applications may require huge amounts of data and high processing power where grid infrastructures are very suitable for meeting these requirements. The load distribution in a grid may vary leading to the bottlenecks and…
We study the load balancing system operating under Join the Shortest Queue (JSQ) in the many-server heavy-traffic regime. If $N$ is the number of servers, we let the difference between the total service rate and the total arrival rate be…
In Cloud computing environment the resources are managed dynamically based on the need and demand for resources for a particular task. With a lot of challenges to be addressed our concern is Load balancing where load balancing is done for…
We consider a load balancing system comprised of a fixed number of single server queues, operating under the well-known Join-the-Shortest Queue policy, and where jobs/customers are impatient and abandon if they do not receive service after…
The basic load balancing scenario involves a single dispatcher where tasks arrive that must immediately be forwarded to one of $N$ single-server queues. We discuss recent advances on scalable load balancing schemes which provide favorable…
Frequency control rebalances supply and demand while maintaining the network state within operational margins. It is implemented using fast ramping reserves that are expensive and wasteful, and which are expected to grow with the increasing…
Parallel applications with irregular and time-varying workloads often suffer from load imbalance. Dynamic load balancing techniques address this challenge by redistributing work during execution. We present a new type of distributed…
Recently, a negative interplay has been shown to arise when scheduling/AQM techniques and low-priority congestion control protocols are used together: namely, AQM resets the relative level of priority among congestion control protocols.…
Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is a type of network architecture that provides cloud computing capabilities at the edge of the network. We consider the use case of video surveillance for an university campus running on a 5G-MEC…
With the rising number of distributed computer systems, from microservice web applications to IoT platforms, the question of reliable communication between different parts of the aforementioned systems is becoming increasingly important. As…
In this note, we propose a case study of freeway traffic flow modeled as a hybrid system. We describe two general classes of networks that model flow along a freeway with merging onramps. The admission rate of traffic flow from each onramp…
In this paper, we present counter-intuitive examples for the multiclass queueing network system. In the system, each station may serve more than one job class with differentiated service priority, and each job may require service…
Load balancing is prevalent in practical application (e.g., web) deployments seen today. One such load balancer, HAProxy, remains relevant as an open-source, easy-to-use system. In the context of web systems, the load balancer tier…
The increasingly complex economic and financial environment in which we live makes the management of liquidity in payment systems and the economy in general a persistent challenge. New technologies are making it possible to address this…
Multi-server queueing systems are widely used models for job scheduling in machine learning, wireless networks, crowdsourcing, and healthcare systems. This paper considers a multi-server system with multiple servers and multiple types of…
We study a supply chain consisting of production-inventory systems at several locations which are coupled by a common supplier. Demand of customers arrives at each production system according to a Poisson process and is lost if the local…
The paper discusses actual task of ensuring the quality of services in information networks with fractal traffic. The generalized approach to traffic management and quality of service based on the account of multifractal properties of the…
Load balancing is a common approach in web server farms or inventory routing problems. An important issue in such systems is to determine the server to which an incoming request should be routed to optimize a given performance criteria. In…
The latest trends in high-performance computing systems show an increasing demand on the use of a large scale multicore systems in a efficient way, so that high compute-intensive applications can be executed reasonably well. However, the…
