At which level ?

I remember of a version of PVM built on the top of LSF in order to balance the
load at PVM task level (ie PVM spawns tasks on the least loaded node in the
virtual machine) but I think this is only a small part of the problem. More
precisely, it's quite clear that load balancing in a distributed 
environment is heavily application dependant.
