Performance Comparison of Load Balancing Algorithms through Code Migration in Distributed Desktop Computing Grids

This paper describes performance comparison of load balancing control through code migration in distributed desktop computing grids. A prototype of the middleware which migrates object code for computing is implemented, and the trade-off of code migration was observed. Based on the prototype experiment, several algorithms for location policy in desktop computing grids were examined on simulations, and the methodology to control code migration to have suitable response time in the system is derived. The result will be applied to design the grid computing systems and the peer to peer computing systems to maintain the proper performance.
