<A NAME="new_implementation"></A>Load-Balancing Function Implementation</H2>
The new load-balancing algorithm should be implemented as an <B>ZOLTAN_LB_FN</B>.
The type definition for an <B>ZOLTAN_LB_FN</B> is in <I>lb/lb_const.h</I> and
is described below. When the new algorithm is selected,
the <I>LB_Fn</I> field of the <B>Zoltan_Struct</B> is set to point to the <B>ZOLTAN_LB_FN</B>
function for the new algorithm. This pointer is then used in invoking load
balancing in <B><A HREF="../ug_html/ug_interface_lb.html#Zoltan_LB_Partition">Zoltan_LB_Partition</A></B>.

<BR>The <B>ZOLTAN_LB_FN</B> function type describes the arguments passed to a
load-balancing function. The input to the function is a <B><A HREF="dev_lb_structs.html#Zoltan_Struct">Zoltan_Struct</A></B>
containing pointers to application-registered functions to be used in the
load-balancing algorithm. The remaining arguments are output parameters
listing the objects to be imported or exported to the processor in the
new decomposition. The arrays for global and local IDs and source processors
must be allocated by the load-balancing function. The load-balancing function
may return either the import arrays, the export arrays, or both. If no
import data is returned, *<I>num_import </I>must be set to a negative number,
and similarly with *<I>num_export.</I>
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>.
