Load Balancing for Spatial-Grid-Based Parallel Numeric Simulations on Clusters of SMPs

Tags:
load balancing

Overview Load distribution is an essential factor to parallel efficiency of numerical simulations that are based on spatial grids, especially on clusters of Symmetric MultiProcessors (SMPs). This paper presents a method of mapping spatial grid nodes to processors that combines two load balancing methodologies, graph partitioning and graph matching, to achieve maximum parallel efficiency on SMP clusters. The method has been successfully applied to load distribution in a parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. Test runs on a PC cluster prove the effectiveness of this method.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
