“…Moreover, it is known, that, in general, Monte Carlo methods can be implemented more easily on parallel architecture than other methods, like, e.g., FEM-computations. The same holds for particle schemes for rarefied gas simulations and several authors already investigated parallel versions of the classical serial codes (see [3,4,10,12,14,17] and the references given there). To achieve an appropriate parallel efficiency, it is necessary to introduce adaptive load balance concepts.…”

The paper presents some adaptive load balance techniques for the simulation of rarefied gas flows on parallel computers. It is shown that a static load balance is insufficient to obtain a scalable parallel efficiency. Hence, two adaptive techniques are investigated which are based on simple algorithms. Numerical results show that using heuristic techniques one can achieve a sufficiently high efficiency over a wide range of different hardware platforms.ᮊ 1997 Academic Press
