TL;DR: This research suggests that a programming approach is the task allocation strategy most likely to balance these conflicting factors.
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.

TL;DR: A model of a closed queuing network within which customer routing between queues may depend on the state of the network is presented and it is indicated how the parametric analysis of a network with routing functions can be simplified through theAnalysis of a simpler “equivalent” network.
Abstract: A model of a closed queuing network within which customer routing between queues may depend on the state of the network is presented. The routing functions allowed may be rational functions of the queue lengths of various downstream queues which reside within special subnetworks called p-subnetworks. If a network with no state-dependent routing has a product-form joint equilibrium distribution of the queue lengths, then the introduction of these routing functions will preserve the product form of the equilibrium distribution. An example to illustrate the applicability of the model to the problem of analyzing a load balancing strategy is presented. It is also indicated how the parametric analysis of a network with routing functions can be simplified through the analysis of a simpler “equivalent” network.

TL;DR: In this article, a load balancing device for rotating apparatus such as washing machines and vehicle tires is presented, which consists of an inner conduit defining an interior raceway which contains a high density fluid mass which shifts to oppose load imbalances.
Abstract: A load balancing device for rotating apparatus such as washing machines and vehicle tires. In one embodiment the present invention consists of an inner conduit defining an interior raceway which contains a high density fluid mass which shifts to oppose load imbalances. Universal mounting brackets are provided attached to the balancing ring to the rotating structure. The attachment brackets are slidable along the ring and adjustable and adapted for securement in various arrangements. In other embodiments the attachment brackets are adapted to accomodate various wheel configurations and bolt spacings for vehicles.
