A high-dynamic invocation load balancing algorithm for distributed servers in the cloud

Abstract

Nowadays, cloud storage has received widespread attention for sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale. Focus on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources, how to allocate tasks reasonably and enhance the load balance are critical challenges that enhancing the overall performance of cloud service platform. In this paper, we proposed a high-dynamic invocation load balancing algorithm (LY-Cluster) for distributed servers in the cloud. There are three main contents that automatically allocate services' IDs, multi-level capacity manager, and dynamically reallocated per demand based on sudden tasks. The experimental results show that our method performs well in terms of load balancing across the service replicas and improves the system scalability and response time. © 2014 Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
