As the number of machines in a computer installation increases, the likelihood that they are all being equally used is very small. We have implemented a load-balancing system to increase the overall utilization and throughput of a network of computers. With this system, a busy machine will locate an underutilized one and attempt to process certain types of CPU intensive jobs there. We present here a complete functional description of the system and an analysis of its performance.
