Abstract
A load sharing system which minimizes overall costs by assigning segments of a divisible load to distributed processor platforms based on the resource utilization cost of each processor platform. The distributed processor platforms are connected via data links which also have associated resource utilization costs. A controller divides a divisible load or task and assigns each segment of the load or task to a processor platform based on the processor platform's resource utilization cost and data link cost. After the initial allocation, an optimizing reallocation is performed to reduce the overall monetary cost processing the load or task. The optimization can be performed using a pair-wise swapping technique.
