چکیده

We present solutions to statically load-balance scatter operations in parallel codes run on grids. Our load-balancing strategy is based on the modi cation of the data distributions used in scatter operations. We study the replacement of scatter operations with parameterized scatters, allowing custom distributions of data. The paper presents: 1) a general algorithm which nds an optimal distribution of data across processors; 2) a quicker guaranteed heuristic relying on hypotheses on communications and computations; 3) a policy on the ordering of the processors. Experimental results with an MPI scienti c code illustrate the bene ts obtained from our load-balancing.

An efficient load balancing strategy for grid-based branch and bound algorithm

The most popular parallelization approach of the branch and bound algorithm consists in building and exploring in parallel the search tree representing the problem being tackled. The deployment of such parallel model on a grid rises the crucial issue of dynamic load balancing. The major question is how to efficiently distribute the nodes of an irregular search tree among a large set of heteroge...
