Currently, there is a rapid development of computing systems, including systems that include various types of devices. Such systems are called heterogeneous or heterogeneous. In addition to traditional processors, such a system may include graphics processing units, programmable gate arrays, and other devices. One of the most pronounced problems of such systems is the complexity of distributing the computational load between the nodes of the computing system. This paper describes the types of balancing and methods for distributing computational load in heterogeneous computing systems. An example of load balancing in a real heterogeneous computing system is described.
