Abstract | The Generalized Dimension Exchange (GDE) method is a fully distributed load balancing method that is most suitable for multicomputers with a direct communication network. It is extremely easy to implement and can yield optimal performance given a proper tuning. We propose a decentralized remapping method that uses the GDE algorithm periodically to balance (remap) the system's load. We implemented this remapping method in two data parallel applications and found it to be effective in reducing the computation time. The gains in performance (5 - 15%) due to remapping are reasonably substantial given the fact that the two applications by their very nature do not necessarily favor remapping. |
