Dynamic load balancing for the simulation of granular materials

Abstract
We discuss the simulation of granular materials and theproblems encountered when parallelizing these simulations.The main problem of inadequately balanced loads can bemitigated via the use of a dynamic load balancing procedure.We discuss a mapping of this procedure onto a deterministiccellular automaton and show that the time needed forconvergence from an initially unbalanced state grows like? / Pff, with P being the number of processors andff = 0:089 \Sigma 0:009.
