GLOSSARY > LOAD BALANCING

Load Balancing

The process of distributing a set of tasks over a set of resources, with the aim of making their overall processing more efficient.

In high-throughput AI environments, Load Balancing distributes incoming prompts across a fleet of GPU inference servers. Advanced LLM load balancers utilize continuous batching and semantic routing to ensure that massive spikes in traffic do not bottleneck the system or saturate the VRAM of a single node.
