--------------------------------------
Hi,
I am Mayar Abd Elaziz, final year computer engineering student at faculty of
engineering - Alexandria University. I am interested in working on the load
balancer. I have investigated the two implementations of the load balancer
(shared data vs sharding) and understood how *schedule()* works but I couldn't
relate that to one of the known load balancing algorithms(e.g round robin and
least connected algorithms).
My thoughts are as follows
# I am not sure if implementing one of those algorithms will improve the
performance?
# There was a problem in choosing the invoker when all the invokers are
overloaded that is solved (I guess) in the sharding implementation by choosing
a random invoker.
And I am not sure what do you mean by
"Distributed algorithm for performance would be put in place like work
stealing, prioritization of the activations, and direct connect for streaming
capabilities."
_Could you help me to get a clearer view of what can be done to improve the
load balancer?_

> *OpenWhisk GSOC: Performance: Improve Load Balancer (Scala)*
> OpenWhisk today is both a scheduler and load balancer located in the
> Controller, the student with be working on improving the algorithms for this
> components to improve the performance.
> The student will have multiple options and would need to use a benchmark to
> measure effectiveness of the changes.
