Load balancing is a feature that distributes work among the server
processes in a logical workspace server, logical stored process server,
or logical OLAP server. The load balancer runs in the object spawner,
which is a program that runs on server machines, listens for incoming
client requests, and launches server instances as needed. When a logical
server is set up for load balancing, and the object spawner receives
a client request for a server in the logical server group, the spawner
directs the request to the server in the group that has the least
load.
SAS Pooled Workspace
Servers and SAS Stored Process Servers are load-balanced by default.

SAS Intelligence Platform: Application Server Administration Guide.
