Abstract

In this paper, we propose a command level dynamic load balancing scheme on a distributed system consisting of UNIX workstations. In this scheme, we locate an FIFO task queue in front of a Round-Robin process queue in a UNIX kernel. To balace workloads among computers, each computer sends tasks to the other computer's FIFO queue. This mechanism avoids extremely high load status. We construct a dynamic load balancing system based on the proposed scheme. This system consists of two processes. One is "yshd", a daemon which observes load state, selects remote execution host and manages FIFO queue. The other is "ysh", a command-shell which communicates with "yshd" and performs remote execution by using the RPC(REX).
