LoadBalancer

A ShedHeaviest is an object used to balance a PartitionedDomain. It does this by shedding the boundary vertices on the heaviest loaded partition (subdomain).

// Constructors

// Destructor

// Public Methods

Sets numRealeases to \(1\) and factorGreater to \(1.0\). These are the paramemeters used in the balance() method.

Sets the parameters used in the balance() method.

Does nothing.

The heaviest loaded partition, max, is first determined by iterating through the Graph theWeightedGraph looking at the vertex weights. Then releaseBoundary(max, theWieightedGraph, true, factorGreater) is invoked on the DomainPartitioner numRelease times. Returns \(0\) if successful, otherwise a negative number and a warning message are returned if either no link has been set to the DomainPartitioner or releaseBoundary() returns a negative number.
