Abstract
Load balancing increases throughput but creates interprocessor overhead. This research suggests that a programming approach is the task allocation strategy most likely to balance these conflicting factors.

Distributed Operating Systems

TL;DR: What constitutes a distributed operating system and how it is distinguished from a computer network are discussed, and several examples of current research projects are examined in some detail.

A taxonomy of scheduling in general-purpose distributed computing systems

TL;DR: A taxonomy of approaches to the resource management problem is presented in an attempt to provide a common terminology and classification mechanism necessary in addressing this problem.

A compile-time scheduling heuristic for interconnection-constrained heterogeneous processor architectures

TL;DR: The authors present a compile-time scheduling heuristic called dynamic level scheduling, which accounts for interprocessor communication overhead when mapping precedence-constrained, communicating tasks onto heterogeneous processor architectures with limited or possibly irregular interconnection structures.

Particle swarm optimization for task assignment problem

TL;DR: The effectiveness of the proposed PSO-based algorithm is demonstrated by comparing it with the genetic algorithm, which is well-known population-based probabilistic heuristic, on randomly generated task interaction graphs.

Open, Closed, and Mixed Networks of Queues with Different Classes of Customers

TL;DR: Many of the network results of Jackson on arrival and service rate dependencies, of Posner and Bernholtz on different classes of customers, and of Chandy on different types of service centers are combined and extended in this paper.

Multiprocessor Scheduling with the Aid of Network Flow Algorithms

TL;DR: This paper shows that this program module assignment problem can be solved efficiently by making use of the well-known Ford–Fulkerson algorithm for finding maximum flows in commodity networks as modified by Edmonds and Karp, Dinic, and Karzanov.

Optimal File Allocation in a Multiple Computer System

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for allocating information files required in common by several computers is developed for allocation of information files in a distributed manner, which considers storage cost, transmission cost, file lengths, and request rates, as well as updating rates of files.

Models for Dynamic Load Balancing in a Heterogeneous Multiple Processor System

TL;DR: Queueing models for a simple heterogeneous multiple processor system are presented, analyzed, and compared and each model is distinguished by a job routing strategy which is designed to reduce the average job turnaround time by balancing the total load among the processors.
