Adaptive load sharing in homogeneous distributed systems
TL;DR: It is shown that extremely simple adaptive load sharing policies, which collect very small amounts of system state information and which use this information in very simple ways, yield dramatic performance improvements.
Book
Speedup versus efficiency in parallel systems
TL;DR: The tradeoff between speedup and efficiency that is inherent to a software system is investigated in this paper, and the extent to which this tradeoff is determined by the average parallelism of the software system, as contrasted with other, more detailed, characterizations, is shown.

A comparison of receiver-initiated and Sendes-initiated adaptive load sharing
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of receiver-initiated and sender-initiated adaptive load sharing
TL;DR: It is shown that sender-initiated strategies outperform receiver-in Initiated strategies at light to moderate system loads, and that receiver-Initiated Strategies are preferable at high system loads only if the costs of task transfer under the two strategies are comparable.
Minimizing Bandwidth Requirements for On-Demand Data Delivery.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of the partitioned dynamic skyscraper and hierarchical multicast stream merging (HMSM) over a wide range of client request rates.
