In each layer, multiple load balancers are set to receive the user requests simultaneously, and different load bal- ancing algorithms are used to construct the high-scalable Web cluster system. At the same time, an improved load balancing al- gorithm is proposed, which can dynamically calculate weights according to the utilization of the server resources, and reasonably distribute the loads for each server according to the load status of the servers. The experimental results show that the proposed ap- proach can greatly decrease the load imbalance among the Web servers and reduce the response time of the entire Web cluster system.展开更多

The architecture is mainly composed of the network topology and the resource management of all server nodes. Instead of the physical network hierarchy or the independent management hierarchy, the nodes are organized into a logically hieraxchical cluster according to the multimedia block they caches in the midderware layer. The process of a member joining/leaving or the structure adjustment cooperatively implemented by all members is concerned with decentralized maintenance of the logical cluster hierarchy. As the root of each logically hierarchical cluster is randomly mapped into the system, the logical structure of a multimedia block is dynamically expanded across some regions by the two replication policies in different load state respectively. The local load diversion is applied to fine-tune the load of nodes within a local region but belongs to different logical hierarchies. Guaranteed by the dynamic expansion of a logical structure and the load diversion of a local region, the users always select a closest idle node from the logical hierarchy under the condition of topology integration with resource management.展开更多

At the same time, we explored a method which accurately reflect I/O traffic and storage of storage-node： computing the heat-value of file, according to which we realized a more logical storage allocation. According to the experiment result, we conclude that this new algorithm shortens the executing time of tasks and improves the system performance compared with other load algorithm.展开更多
