摘要：In heterogeneous database cluster, the performance of load balancing is closely related to the computing capabilities of heterogeneous nodes and the different types of workloads. Thus, a method is introduced to evaluate the load status of nodes by the weighted load values with consideration of both the utilization of different resources and the workload types in a load balancer and an efficient and dynamic load balancing scheme is proposed for OLTP(online transaction processing) workloads to maximize the utilization of distributed resources and achieve better performance, which need not collect the feedback of load information from the lower nodes and effectively keeps from the data skew. The simulation results for OLTP services gained by TPC-C tool show that the dynamic weighted balancing policy leads to sub-linear throughput speedup and keeps the heterogeneous cluster well balanced.
