A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product are presented for load balancing amongst a set of processors within a distributed data processing system. To accomplish the load balancing, a modulo arithmetic operation is used to divide a set of data elements from a data source substantially equally among the processors. Each of the processors performs the modulo arithmetic operation substantially independently. At a particular processor, a data element is retrieved from a data source, and the processor calculates a representational integer value for the data element. The processor then calculates a remainder value by dividing the representational integer value by the number of processors in the distributed data processing system. If the remainder value is equal to a predetermined value associated with the processor, then the data element is processed further by the processor.
