Summary: The ANTS Load Balancing System
Description:
The ANTS Load Balancing System is a piece of software that will allow jobs to be executed on computers connected in a network (eg. a Beowulf). The node best suited (at the time of execution) for the job given, will be chosen to execute the job. This is an approach different from that of traditional Queue systems. A job is not queued, it is executed immediately if any suitable host (for the given job type) can be found. This makes the system suitable for execution of a large number of small jobs, such as compilers. A traditional queue system will often take up too much time managing it's queues, to allow tasks such as large-scale compilations to gain much speedup using it.
