| Concentrating processors near crack leads to good workload balance |
| equal nodal point -- not equal area -- but to minimize communication nodal points assigned to a particular processor are contiguous |
| This is NP complete (exponenially hard) optimization problem but in practice many ways of getting good but not exact good decompositions |
| Region assigned to 1 processor |
| Work Load |
| Not Perfect ! |
