A Fast Serial Algorithm For The Finite Temperature Quenched Potts Model, Gregory N. Hassold, Elizabeth A. Holm
Physics Publications
An efficient serial algorithm for finite temperature, quenched Potts model simulations of domain evolution has been developed. This ''n‐fold way'' algorithm eliminates unsuccessful spin flip attempts a priori by flipping sites with a frequency proportional to their site activity, defined as the sum of the probability of success for every possible spin flip at that site. Finite temperature efficiency for high‐spin degeneracy systems is achieved by utilizing a new, analytical expression for the portion of the site activity due to flips to non-neighbor spin values. Hence, to determine the activity of a site, only flips to the …

This paper describes the performance of locality-based mapping and remapping partitioners for unstructured grids. We show that the algorithm produces good mappings at a relatively low cost and can be easily parallelized. Further, the algorithm can provide remapping for incremental problems at a fraction of the total cost.
