Load balancing using process migration for linux based distributed system

This paper presents implementation of load balancing mechanism using master-slave model and Berkeley Lab Checkpoint/Restart (BLCR) toolkit. The overall goal is to create a Master-Slave model through which we can migrate processes from highly loaded nodes to some dedicated lightly loaded nodes. The agent running on master node divides total work into equal sub tasks and delegates these sub-tasks to several independent slave nodes. The master node computes final result by aggregating the partial results returned by slaves.
