In distributed systems or clustered systems load imbalance is a major problem to improve system performance. Load balancing is process through which utilizing computing resources of lightly nodes by transferring some jobs on that node from highly overloaded nodes. The sharing and utilization of computer resources in a distributed system or clustered system is a more complicated task than in equivalent centralized systems, due to the distribution of computer resources over a set of autonomous and often physically separate nodes. For effective use of these fragmented resources load balancing are required to decrease response time and other CPU utilization constraints. Load balancing enables busy sites to offload some works to lightly loaded sites. But problem with load balancing algorithms is that if it is not implemented properly it increases network overhead and decreases the performance of systems. In this paper, we present an algorithm for load balancing which calculate dynamically the load of each node and migrates the task on the basis of predefined constraint which reduce network overhead.
