<h2>

|
<a NAME="new_interface"></a>Load-Balancing Interface Routines</h2>
|
|
Any new method that you wish to add to the Zoltan library must have an
|
|
interface that conforms to the prototype <b><a href="dev_add_lb.html">LB_FN</a></b>.
|
|
Note that the load balancing
|
|
function may return either import lists, export lists, or both. All
|
|
processes must return the same type of list. If import (export) lists
|
|
are not computed, then the variable <i>num_import</i> (<i>num_export</i>)
|
|
must be set to a negative number (typically -1) upon return.
|
|
Full support of the <a href="../ug_html/ug_alg.html#RETURN_LISTS">RETURN_LISTS</a>
|
|
parameter is not required.
|
|
If <a href="../ug_html/ug_alg.html#RETURN_LISTS">RETURN_LISTS</a>
|
|
is not set to NONE,
|
|
the new algorithm may return either import or export lists; the Zoltan
|
|
interface will then build the lists requested by
|
|
<a href="../ug_html/ug_alg.html#RETURN_LISTS">RETURN_LISTS</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A new algorithm must be added to the load-balancing interface for use
|
|
with parameter
|
|
<a href="../ug_html/ug_alg.html#LB_METHOD">LB_METHOD</a>.
|
|
An entry for the new algorithm must be added to the enumerated type <b>Zoltan_LB_Method</b>
|
|
in <i>lb/lb_const.h</i>. An external <b><a href="dev_add_lb.html">LB_FN</a></b>
|
|
prototype for the load-balancing function must also be added to <i>lb/lb_const.h</i>;
|
|
see the prototype for function <i>Zoltan_RCB</i> as an example. A character
|
|
string describing the new algorithm should be chosen to be used as the parameter
|
|
value for
|
|
<a href="../ug_html/ug_alg.html#LB_METHOD">LB_METHOD</a>.
|
|
In
|
|
function <b>Zoltan_LB_Set_LB_Method</b>,
|
|
a test for this string should be added
|
|
and the <i>Method</i> and <i>LB_Fn</i> fields of the <b><a href="dev_lb_structs.html#Zoltan_Struct">Zoltan_Struct</a></b>
|
|
should be set to the new enumerated type value and new load-balancing function
|
|
pointer.
