Foil 54 General definition of temperature TS of a complex system

From Complex Systems and Parallel Computing CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 In a dynamic load balancing problem (time dependent system), simulated annealing will be performed concurrently on the same computer ensemble used to simulate system.
2 Suppose "optimal" annealing strategy used. There will be a minimum temperature TS to which it will be possible to "cool" system before time spent annealing is longer than gain due to improved load balancing.
3 Note TS is independent of speed of computer - it is a property of system being simulated
