ABSTRACT:
A method for calculating a local mean number of tasks for each processing element (PEr) in a parallel processing system, wherein each processing element (PEr) has a local number of tasks associated therewith and wherein r represents the number for a selected processing element, the method comprising assigning a value (Er) to the each processing element (PEr), summing a total number of tasks present on the parallel processing system and the value (Er) for the each processing element (PEr), dividing the sum of the total number of tasks present on the parallel processing system and the value (Er) for the each processing element (PEr) by a total number of processing elements in the parallel processing system and truncating a fractional portion of the divided sum for the each processing element.
