class LoadBalancer


A LoadBalancer is an object used to balance a PartitionedDomain. The LoadBalancer does this by invoking methods in the DomainPartitioner object with which it is associated.

// Constructor


// Destructor


// Public Methods


// Public Methods


Sets the pointer to the associated PartitionedDomain to be \(0\).


Does nothing. Provided so the subclasses destructor will be called.


Sets the pointer to the DomainPartitioner object associated with the LoadBalancer to point to thePartitioner.

virtual int balance(Graph &theWeightedGraph) =0;

Each subclass must provide an implementation of this method. This method is invoked to balance the PartitionedDomain. The Graph theWeightedGraph is a weighted graph in which the vertices represent the Subdomains, the edges Subdomains sharing common boundary nodes and the weight the cost of the previous Subdomain calculations (determined by invoking getCost() on the Subdomains).


Returns a pointer to the DomainPartitioner. If no DomainPartitioner has been set, a warning message is printed and \(0\) returned.
