Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03010907A1] Method and apparatus for load balancing a distributed processing system (104). A method for load balancing a distributed processing system (104) having a plurality of processing nodes (136, 150) associated therewith is provided. A portion of a process is first received at one of the processing nodes for processing of that portion thereat (150). The amount of processing at that node is then determined that will be required to complete the received portion of the process as a processing load on that one processing node. A determination is then made if the amount of processing exceeds a predetermined threshold. If the amount of processing exceeds the predetermined threshold, then information is transferred to other nodes (136) in the network that the one of the processing nodes is unavailable for further processing.
