Load balancing can optimize response time and avoid unevenly overloading some compute nodes while other compute nodes are left idle. Load balancing is the subject of research in the field of parallel computers. Two main approaches exist: static algorithms, which do not take into account the state of the different machines, and dynamic ...
A load-balanced switch backbone can deliver 100% throughput with an overcapacity of just 2x, as measured across the whole system. The underpinnings of large backbone networks are usually optical channels that cannot be quickly switched. These map well to the constant-rate 2R/N channels of the load-balanced switch's mesh.
Prairie dogs aren’t dogs at all but are actually a species of ground squirrels. They are cousins of the squirrels we find in our backyards. Prairie dogs live in big social groups called prairie ...
