Abstract :
In parallel cluster computing, an unscalable or unstable load balancing algorithm can intensely affect the performance of computing. To aim at this case, this paper puts forward a linear dynamic load balancing model and analyzes the stability of this linear model on the condition of existing time delay. Base on analyzing results, this paper uses a load balancing gain to control this model with the increasing system scale. In the end, a more useful nonlinear model is proposed and the simulation results are given to compare with analyzing results and other load balancing methods.
