title = "Gossip-based distributed algorithms for estimating the average load of scalable clusters and grids",
abstract = "We present gossip-based distributed algorithms by which each node of a cluster or a grid can find an estimate of the global average load of the system. Knowledge of this estimate can improve the performance by allowing each node to make better scheduling decisions. Our algorithms are based on asynchronous exchanges (gossip) of load messages between either a random or a fixed pairs of nodes. We show that based on these messages, each node can find an estimate of the average load of all the nodes. We present the algorithms and prove their convergence.",
