Automatic Granularity Control For Load Balancing Of Concurrent Particle Simulations, Marc Rieffel, Stephen Taylor, Jerrell Watts
Automatic Granularity Control For Load Balancing Of Concurrent Particle Simulations, Marc Rieffel, Stephen Taylor, Jerrell Watts
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship
This paper demonstrates the use of automatic granularity control as part of dynamic load balancing for irregular, particle-based simulations. Performance optimization techniques are considered in the context of a concurrent Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method used to study the rarefied gas flow inside three-dimensional plasma reactors. Several computational techniques are used to reduce the overall time to deliver realistic threedimensional results. The effectiveness of dynamic load balancing and granularity control are presented for large-scale simulations on distributed-memory multicomputers.
