Abstract

Background/Objectives: In this research, load balancing algorithm based on Bat Algorithm is implemented to achieve the goals of load balancer. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The proposed algorithm is implemented using “Parallel Processing toolbox” in Mat lab and the results are compared with other techniques, namely, Round Robin and Fuzzy GSO. Findings: Results are discussed in the context of response time and based on the number of tasks. While balancing the load among the virtual machines, job migration to another virtual machine will affect the response time. In future, further work is on the development of job migration algorithm.
