Foil 56 Mapping Problem: Criteria

From Physical Optimization and Physical Computation CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Decompose the geometric data structures in a specified number of subdomains (substructures) so that:
  • the subdomains have the "same" number of elements or grid points
  • the interfaces amomg the subdomains is "small"
  • the number of adjacent subdomains is minimal
  • each subdomain is compact domain
Allocate the subdomains to processors, so that:
  • geometrically neighbor subdomains are allocated to neighbor processors in the interconnection network of given parallel machine, and
Decouple (color) the processors so that:
  • the local synchronization among the processors is edge contention free.
