	Hi at all,

	I'm isterested in load balancing on multiprocessor machines. For that, I want the answer to one question:

	PVM uses the "Pool of Tasks" paradigm for load balncing. But, when the execution of a specific task over a specific machine is very cost, this paradigm is not efficient.

	HeNCE uses a "cost matrix" for determine the cost of a specific task over a sepecific machine. Which are the internals of this "cost matrix"? What paradigm or algorithm uses?

	If someone knows some of this, please answer to:

	Thanks for all. Regards,

		Alberto.
