Load balancing

• Attempt to parcel out the modeled cells such that each CPU takes the same amount of time to simulate one step
• This is static load balancing - cells do not move
• Dedicated access to the CPUs is required for effective decomposition
• Easier if identically configured CPUs.
• PGENESIS provides no automated load-balancing but there are some performance monitoring tools.
