Graph Partitioning for FEM Applications: Reducing the Communication Volume with DSHEM

A new vertex matching model called Directed Sorted Heavy Edge Matching is introduced intended to reduce the communication volume during FEM simulations and ensure efficient execution on distributed systems.

Load Balancing for Parallel Computations with the Finite Element Method

In this paper, we give an overview of efforts to improve current techniques of load-balancing and efficiency of finite element method (FEM) computations on large-scale parallel machines and introduce

A Localized Algorithm for Optimizing Unstructured Mesh Partitions

Experiments indicate that the resulting code is up to an order of magnitude faster than existing state- of-the-art techniques such as Multilevel Recursive Spectral Bisection, while providing partitions of equiv alent quality.

Heuristic Algorithms for Automatic Graph Partitioning

This work proposes a class of algorithms which are based on level set expansions from a number of center nodes which lead to good-quality partitionings of the Finite Element method.

Mesh Partitioning for Efficient Use of Distributed Systems

This paper presents a tool, called PART, for automatic mesh partitioning for distributed systems, which considers heterogeneities in the application and the distributed system, and describes the parallel version of simulated annealing that is used with PART.

Parallel Decomposition of Unstructured FEM-Meshes

A fast but inaccurate sequential clustering is determined which is used, together with a simple mapping heuristic, to map the mesh initially onto the processors of a massively parallel system to remap and optimize the mesh decomposition taking several cost functions into account.

A Multi-Level Algorithm For Partitioning Graphs

A multilevel algorithm for graph partitioning in which the graph is approximated by a sequence of increasingly smaller graphs, and the smallest graph is then partitioned using a spectral method, and this partition is propagated back through the hierarchy of graphs.

An Improved Spectral Graph Partitioning Algorithm for Mapping Parallel Computations

A new domain mapping algorithm is presented that extends recent work in which ideas from spectral graph theory have been applied to this problem and provides better decompositions arrived at more economically and robustly than with previous spectral methods.
