Abstract :
Previously proposed load sharing algorithms do not support flexible sharing policies in a non-intrusive fashion and do not scale to systems consisting of several thousand workstations, and, therefore, are not amenable for owner-based distributed systems. The paper introduces a new algorithm that supports a rich set of policies while scaling to adequate system sizes with bounded intrusiveness
