DDE: A modified dimension exchange method for load balancing ink-aryn-cubes

The dimension exchange method (DEM) was initially proposed as a load-balancing algorithm for the hypercube structure. It has been generalized tok-aryn-cubes. However, thek-aryn-cube algorithm must take many iterations to converge to a balanced state. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm, theDirect Dimension Exchange(DDE) method, which takes load average in every dimension without iteratively exchanging the load. This global approach is able to balance the load more accurately and much faster. © 1997 Academic Press
