the finding that sending each job to the less loaded of two randomly chosen servers cuts maximum load and delay exponentially compared with one random choice.

In operations research, power of two choices refers to the finding that sending each job to the less loaded of two randomly chosen servers cuts maximum load and delay exponentially compared with one random choice. This meaning comes from Mitzenmacher (2001) in IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems.[1]
