Global parallel scheduling is a new approach for runtime load balancing. In parallel scheduling, all processors cooperate together to schedule work. Parallel scheduling accurately balances the load by using global load information. As an alternative strategy to the commonly used dynamic scheduling, it provides a high-quality, low-overhead load balancing. This paper presents a parallel scheduling algorithm for interconnection networks of the tree topology. This algorithm minimizes communications and maximize locality.

This paper follows an earlier publication in the Advances in Complex Systems journal (Heusse et al., 1998) where we presented a new algorithm based on collaborative agents for routing in communication networks. In this document, we shall investigate its load-balancing capability. This capability is required as a first step to achieve quality of delivery and service. We also compare our new approach to the classical ones and discuss their respective benefits.
