SUMMARY:School Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Petra Berenbrink: On Diffusion and Selfish Load Balancing\n\nWe will discuss various models for network-based load balancing of\n\ndiscrete tasks in two main settings: resource-driven and task-driven.\n\nGenerally speaking, the former class is based upon diffusion-type\n\nalgorithms, whereas the latter has a more balls-into-bins flavour.\n\n\n\nIn the main part of the talk we will consider the resource-driven\n\nmodels, with particular focus on randomised diffusion, Propp-type\n\n(rotor) algorithms and simulation of the generic continuous algorithm\n\nfor arbitrarily splittable tasks.  We will then very briefly discuss\n\ntask-driven models.\n\n\n\nIn this talk we aim to present an overview of recent models and results,\n\nand we will only rarely plunge into technical depths but instead only\n\nhint at main ingredients and ideas of the proofs.\n\nhttps://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/research/seminars/abstract.php?id=301
