Load balancing based on queue length, in a network of processor stations

摘要

A method for distributing a job load from a local processor station to at least one processor station within a plurality of processor stations connected by a multiaccess channel. A job is selected for remote execution from the local processor so that the average load value of the local processor station is reduced to the average load value of the processor station having the lowest average load value from a subset of processor stations. The average load value can be, for example, average utilization or average queue length.
