Evaluating load balancing algorithms for performance optimization in cloud computing

Abstract

Cloud computing is a new sort of computing over internet. It has many advantages along with several issues. These issues are related to load management, security of data in cloud. In this paper, the most important concern is to prevent bottleneck in cloud computing. The load can be (CPU load, memory capacity, delay or network-load). Load balancing is the process of distributing the load among various servers so that none of the servers is underloaded. Load-balancing also prevents the situation where some servers are heavily loaded while others are idle. This process of Load balancing ensures that load is distributed equally among the servers. In this paper, some algorithms of load balancing is discussed along with its benefits and drawbacks and also tested these algorithms on some performance parameters.
