<h2>
|
||||
<a NAME="new_methods"></a>Adding New Load-Balancing Algorithms to Zoltan</h2>
|
||||
The Zoltan library is designed so that adding new load-balancing algorithms
|
||||
to the library is simple. In many cases, existing code can be easily modified
|
||||
to use the interface query functions to build the data structures needed
|
||||
for the algorithm. The process for adding new algorithms to the library
|
||||
is described below; more detail is provided at each link.
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Make sure you follow the <a href="dev_intro_philosophy.html">Philosophy
|
||||
of Zoltan</a> and the <a href="dev_intro_coding.html">Coding Principles
|
||||
in Zoltan</a>.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Use the <a href="dev_add_struct.html">Data Structures</a>
|
||||
provided by Zoltan.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Implement a <a href="dev_add_lb.html">Load-Balancing Function</a> front-end
|
||||
to the algorithm. Note that Zoltan load-balance methods should assign objects both to processors and parts, which may be different. The recommended strategy is to assign objects to parts first, then use Zoltan_LB_Part_To_Proc to generate the corresponding processors.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Add the algorithm to the <a href="dev_add_interface.html">Load-Balancing
|
||||
Interface Routines</a>.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Add the <a href="dev_add_params.html">Parameters</a> needed by the algorithm.
|
||||
Also make sure that the algorithm uses the <a href="../ug_html/ug_param.html#General_Parameters">General Parameters</a> in Zoltan properly, in particular
|
||||
<a href="../ug_html/ug_alg.html#LB Parameters"><b>Imbalance_Tol</b></a> and
|
||||
<a href="../ug_html/ug_param.html#Debug Levels in Zoltan"><b>Debug_Level.</b></a></li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If necessary, write a routine to free your dynamically allocated data structures.
|
||||
See tips on <a href="dev_add_memory.html">memory management</a></li>
|
||||
in Zoltan.</a></li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If your algorithm uses persistent data structures,
|
||||
like the RCB tree with <a href="../ug_html/ug_alg_rcb.html">KEEP_CUTS</a>,
|
||||
write a routine to copy your load balancing
|
||||
<a href="dev_add_struct.html#Copy">data structure</a>. </li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
We recommend you add part remapping to your algorithm using
|
||||
<a href="dev_add_.html"><b>Zoltan_LB_Remap</b></a>.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Update the <a href="dev_fortran.html#fortran dev add">Fortran</a>
|
||||
and <a href="dev_cpp.html">C++</a> interfaces, if necessary.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Document your new method. The documentation should be written in a format
|
||||
that can easily be converted into HTML and PDF. Consider adding a
|
||||
simple application to the <I>examples</I> directory demonstrating the
|
||||
use of your method.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Please contact the Zoltan team if you would like your method to be distributed
|
||||
with future versions of Zoltan.</li>
