Abstract

This paper begins with a brief review of how dynamic load-balancing problems arise in the context of parallel adaptive computational mechanics codes. Particular emphasis is given to the h-version of the finite element method applied to time-dependent problems and the distinctive features of dynamic load-balancing, as opposed to static load-balancing, are emphasized. These include the issues of data locality and the need for parallel implementations. Following this some popular classes of dynamic load-balancing algorithm are discussed, beginning with a review of how some well-know static load-balancing algorithms might be applied to dynamic problems and then moving on to look at various diffusion algorithms. In addition a variety of other techniques are discussed, including those designed to minimize the amount of data relocation required, multilevel methods and recursive algorithms.
