โœฆ Synopsis

In many important computational mechanics applications, the computation adapts dynamically during the simulation. Examples include adaptive mesh reยฎnement, particle simulations and transient dynamics calculations. When running these kinds of simulations on a parallel computer, the work must be assigned to processors in a dynamic fashion to keep the computational load balanced. A number of approaches have been proposed for this dynamic load balancing problem. This paper reviews the major classes of algorithms and discusses their relative merits on problems from computational mechanics. Shortcomings in the state-of-the-art are identiยฎed and suggestions are made for future research directions.

## Abstract Program environments or operating systems generally leave the decision on the allocation of program entities to the developer, offering either placement directives, or tools available through the manipulation of a graphical interface. These approaches cannot always take into account the

In this paper we consider the application of accelerated techniques in order to increase the rate of convergence of the diffusive iterative load balancing algorithms. In particular, we compare the application of Semi-Iterative, Second Degree and Variable Extrapolation techniques on the basic diffusi

Recently, switch-based networks of workstations (NOWs) have been introduced as an alternative for traditional parallel computers. Although many dynamic load balancing algorithms have been developed for point-to-point networks (static networks), little progress has been made on the load balancing in
