Abstract
The focus of this paper is the implementation and utilization of an inexpensive heterogeneous multicomputer cluster for the study of load balancing techniques. The basic conclusion of the paper is that excellent performance is possible provided that the proper choices among various parameters and implementation options of the load balancing schemes are employed
