Abstract

The problem of fair data redistribution in heterogeneous environments is considered. Efficiently running applications based on adaptive computations on distributed systems requires adequate techniques for fair workload redistribution. A generalization of the diffusion algorithm for the case when the processors have different processing speeds is discussed. The worst case complexity of such an algorithm is theoretically analyzed and experimental results are reported.
