Abstract :
We have compared various load balancing strategies for the program which was developed by our group to simulate nanoscale measurements of material properties. Among the strategies we have examined, static block distributions, static cyclic distributions, self-adapting block distributions, dynamic load balancing, and hybrid load balancing, the hybrid approach has been proven to give the best performance for the program on Hitachi SR8000.
