A physical particle and plane framework for load balancing in multiprocessors

Different models for load balancing have been proposed before, each of which has its own features and advantages when considered for a specific scenario. Yet, nearly all of the existing techniques have assumed an oversimplified model of the system which is often not the case of the real world. In this paper, a new gradient based algorithm for dynamic load balancing on multiprocessors is proposed. This algorithm is an analogy of a classical physical model of a Particle & Plane system which operates based on the classic laws of physics dictated by the nature.
