Abstract :
CBIR systems, which typically manage a great amount of multimedia information, need efficient implementations to give an answer in a proper response time. Distributed solutions on heterogeneous clusters offer a good cost/performance ratio to solve this problem. One of the critical parameters to be tuned is the load assigned to each of the cluster nodes. This paper presents a new load balancing algorithm for a parallel implementation of a CBIR system on a heterogeneous cluster. The approach is based on a dynamic, distributed, global and high scalable load balancing algorithm. Some experiments are presented to validate and verify the approach performance
