A Load Balancing Algorithm Based on Maximum Entropy Methods in Homogeneous Clusters

In order to solve the problems of ill-balanced task allocation, long response time, low throughput rate and poor performance when the cluster system is assigning tasks, we introduce the concept of entropy in thermodynamics into load balancing algorithms. This paper proposes a new load balancing algo...
