We propose a graph-theoretic, receiver-initiated, distributed protocol for dynamic load balancing protocol in large-scale hypercube ensembles. Using attributed hypergraphs as the primary data structure for constraint modelling and dynamic optimisation, we consider systems running precedence-constrained heterogeneous tasks. Fault Tolerance is ensured by incorporating a dynamic integrity check for the decision nodes and their subsequent re-election if needed. Simulation studies are used to analyse the algorithm performance and correctness
