How does Altair SLC Hub do load balancing between worker nodes?
Altair EmployeeAltair SLC Hub manages interactive sessions for Altair Workbench users and also manages the processing of Pipelines and the deployment of programs for either Synchronous On Demand and Asynchronous On Demand execution.
These jobs are executed on the various worker nodes that form the cluster of workers available to the hub.
The Hub Portal allows the user or the administrator to view the status of the workloads on the cluster.
SLC Hub load balances submitted workloads on the available worker nodes. It is a straightforward algorithm (the nomad spread algorithm) where each new job is started on the least loaded worker. New link sessions are similarly started on the least loaded worker (provided that it also meets the execution profile specification).
