Using cellular automata for parallel simulation of laser dynamics with dynamic load balancing

Laser Dynamics Modelling and Simulation: An Application of Dynamic Load Balancing of Parallel Cellular Automata

Parallel Cellular Automata-based Simulation of Laser Dynamics using Dynamic Load Balancing

In order to analyze the feasibility of executing a parallel bioinspired model of laser dynamics on a heterogeneous non-dedicated cluster, we evaluate its performance including artificial load to simulate other tasks or jobs submitted by other users. As the model is based on a synchronous cellular automaton (CA), using the SPMD (Single Program, Multiple Data) paradigm, it is not clear in advance...

2-D Cellular Automata and Short Range Molecular Dynamics Programs for Simulations on Networked Workstations and Parallel Computers

In the paper parallel algorithms for two popular simulation methods: cellular automata and short range molecular dynamics are presented and their implementation on networked workstations and CONVEX Exemplar SPP1000/XA is reported. Programs are equipped with load balancing procedures based on local self-timings and they are useful for simulation of large systems wit 10 7 + lattice sites and 10 6...

Efficiency of Dynamic Load Balancing Based on Permanent Cells for Parallel Molecular Dynamics Simulation

This paper addresses a dynamic load balancing method of domain decomposition for 3-dimensional Molecular Dynamics on parallel computers. In order to reduce interprocessor communication overhead, we are introducing a concept of permanent cells to the dynamic load balancing method. Molecular Dynamics simulations on a parallel computer T3E prove that the proposed method using load balancing much i...

Dynamic load balancing of parallel cellular automata

We are interested in running in parallel cellular automata. We present an algorithm which explores the dynamic remapping of cells in order to balance the load between the processing nodes. The parallel application runs on a cluster of PCs connected by Fast-Ethernet. A general cellular automaton can be described as a set of cells where each cell is a state machine. To compute the next cell state...
