Abstract

An effective load balance (LB) management achieves high performance computing (HPC) and green computing. Users can run their jobs on virtual machines (VMs). Virtual machine (VM) has own resources (CPU and memory). VM migrates from host to another host during fail of VM, hot spot and high resource demand. Effective LB management is based on scheduling policy and management Strategies. In this paper it is discussed the available scheduling mechanisms, goals and strategies of load balancing techniques. The aim of this work to elaborate the key analysis of research works on LB.
