A Sandpile based Load Distribution over Edges

Prior load balancing heuristics for edge computing require additional efforts for collecting and analyzing the global knowledge on a system. To this end, we propose a sandpile based load distribution scheme, which confidently guarantees that the entire edge resources naturally evolve towards the most stable state in a natural fashion. Our scheme is evaluated with three heuristic strategies and their performance is discussed in terms of avalanche behavior, latency minimization, and self-organized criticality.
