Abstract
A centralized, process-based load balancer for P-GRADE has been designed and implemented. The program estimates the computation and communication demands of the application processes, and executes the diffusion or simulated annealing algorithm to get a nearly optimal process-host mapping. Both the estimation and the optimization contain several parameters which are subject to empirical tuning.
