Abstract
In this paper we present Lbs, a load-management-system for network based concurrent computing. The system is built on Pt-Pvm, a library based on the PVM system. Pt-Pvm provides message passing and process management facilities at thread and process level for a cluster of workstations running
the UNIX operating system.
The presented system is realized as an open library which can be easily used to implement new load-balancing algorithms. In
addition to that, the unit of load which has to be distributed (either data or light-weight processes) can be transparently
adapted to application needs. Therefore the system serves as an ideal test-bed for comparing different load-balancing methods.
