Abstract
During the last decade, using parallel and distributed system has been more general. In these systems a huge size of data or computation is distributed between many systems for getting better performance. Dividing data is one of the challenges in parallel and distributed system. One of proposed method for managing data distribution is called Divisible Load Theory (DLT). Ten reasons for using DLT have been mentioned. Many researches have been done in this field from 1988 to now. One or some of characteristics of DLT have been attended in each research and some of researchers proposed new parameters. We believe all the researches can be categorized in ten categories based on ten reasons for using DLT presented by Robertazzi. For a novice researcher in this field, it is necessary to know important parameters and previous researches so in this paper we present some of earlier researches in ten categories.
