  Abstract

For some applications, the computational structure changes dynamically during the program execution. When this happens, static partitioning and allocation of tasks are not enough to achieve high performance in parallel computers. In this paper, we propose a dynamic load balancing algorithm which efficiently distributes the computation with dynamically growing tree structure to processors. We present an implementation technique for the algorithm on mesh architectures, and analyze its complexity. We also demonstrate through experiments how our algorithm provides good quality solutions.
