Abstract :
The effective use of parallel resources is a central topic for high performance computing developers. Another key challenge is the elaboration of smart systems, in which the final user does not need to define the method to distribute the loads in a cluster. In this work, a methodology is proposed to enable the load balance in an automatized and non-intrusive way. A proposal for implementation and achieved speedups are also discussed.
