Finally Table1 shows the calculated average number of moves made by a node in the entire system, with and without hot spots and with and without load balancing, and the normalized variation of the capacity at each processor from the mean. The table shows that the load balancing reduces the coe cient of variation at the cost of a very small increase in the average moves in the system, indicating that load balancing is e ective with low overhead.... ..."
