Abstract
We consider the problem of redistributing data on homogeneous and heterogeneous processor rings. The problem arises in several applications, each time after a load-balancing mechanism is invoked (but we do not discuss the load-balancing mechanism itself). We provide algorithms that aim at optimizing the data redistribution, both for uni-directional and bi-directional rings. One major contribution of the paper is that we are able to prove the optimality of the proposed algorithms in all cases except that of a bi-directional heterogeneous ring, for which the problem remains open.
