Abstract

Availability of economical systems and advancement in communication technicalities has galvanized appreciable attentiveness in a parallel architecture. Parallel architecture is materialized as a research area with the perspective of furnishing faster results. In a parallel architecture, balancing of load over engaged cores or nodes is a critical issue. Imbalance in cores or processors degrades the performance of systems. This paper presents a study and comparative anatomy of some load balancing approaches on parallel architecture with its effect on parallelism. The performances are analyzed on the basis of execution time, speed up, throughput, and efficiency. To implement load balancing approaches we have used OpenMP in Linux Environment.
