Abstract

In computer science scenario, Distributes Systems (DS) can be categorized by system transparency & resource mutation. There are various procedures for task scheduling in DS and one of the type is Load Balancing (LB). It is a way to spit the work between nodes for resource utilization. To keep the processor busy LB is a best way to improve system utilization and total response time. There are many methods in existence to optimize system utilization like Simulated Annealing (SA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), FIFO, Shortest Processing Time (SPT), Largest Processing Time (LPT), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). In this paper we focus on Genetic Algorithm to resolve our problem.
