Abstract: We discuss algorithms for graph bisection which are relevant to the distribution of tasks, such as the elements and nodes of an unstructured mesh to the processors of a parallel computer. Starting with a cost function consisting of a part to ensure equal numbers of tasks for each processor, and a part to minimize communication time between processors, we derive the spectral bisection method, which consists of finding an eigenvector of a large sparse matrix. Inertial bisection is derived as a... (Update)

.... the computation load has to be balanced among the different processors and the amount of communication has to be minimized [53, 24, 55, 60, 32, 26]. The bisection problem is of great relevance in VLSI design because it models the problem of optimally placing standard cells...

...the process continues recursively until p partitions are generated. A more elaborated geometric approach is inertial method [7, 14]. It employs a physical analogy in which the grid points are treated as point masses and the grid is cut with a plane orthogonal to the...
