Hi,
	I will impliment a load balancing stratage on PVM.
	The method I use is based on prediction.
	As known, the function call pvm_spawn() will utilize Round robin
	to choose a host when user use "PvmTaskDefault" option.
	Its disadvantage is the pvm library maybe made a bad decision to choose
	a overloading host to run user's slave program.
	So I want to give a more precisely method to take a better choice.

	Now I need some suggestion about the "automatic load balancing" idea.
	And I welcome any discussion.

	If you are interested in this topic, contact with me anytime,please.

	My email address is   yrchen@ie.nsysu.edu.tw

	Expect your reply or email !!!
