A study on dynamic load balancing in grid environment

Grid computing is a collection of computer resources from multiple locations to reach a common goal. Grid computing distinguishes from conventional high performance computing systems that are heterogeneous and geographically dispersed than cluster computer. One of the major issues in grid computing is load balancing. Classification of load balancing is: Static � Dynamic, Centralized � Decentralized, Homogeneous � Heterogeneous. Techniques like: Ant Colony Optimization, Threshold based and Optimal Heterogeneous are used by some researcher to balance the load. This survey paper discusses set of parameters to be used for comparing performance of each of them. In addition to that it says which technique is more useful for grid environment.
