Newsgroups: comp.parallel From: nhurley@euclid.hdl.ie (Neil Hurley) Subject: Summary : Software for Load Balancing Organization: Princeton University Date: Mon, 17 Oct 1994 23:24:40 GMT Message-ID: A while ago I posed a query about Software for Load Balancing. There was quite a lot of interest, so here's a summary of what I learned. Thanks to all who responded. Neil. ---------------------------------------------------- Multilevel code for Recursive Spectral Bisection is available from Horst Simon (simon@nas.nasa.gov) on request. --------------------------------------------------- Bruce Hendrickson of Sandia National Laboratories has a system for domain decomposition called Chaco. You can find papers describing Chaco via anonymous ftp at ftp.cs.sandia.gov in the directory pub/papers/bahendr. ----------------------------------------------------- > Date: Fri, 16 Sep 1994 22:27:39 +0600 > From: hyang@ringer.cs.utsa.edu (Haixu Yang) > To: nhurley@sun1.hdl.ie > Subject: Re: Software for Load balancing / DD ? > Newsgroups: comp.parallel > In-Reply-To: > Organization: The University of Texas at San Antonio > Cc: > > You can ftp to netlib2.cs.utk.edu, get the index file, it should have > something you are interested. > > Would you mail me a copy of response, I am alos interested in this questions > > thanks I checked netlib, and found this : file sparspak/gen1wd.f sparspak/gen1wd.f plus dependencies for gen1wd finds a one-way dissection partitioning , for a general graph. fn1wd is used for each connected , component.
