Centralized Load Balancing Strategies

GreedyCommLB: a “greedy” load balancing strategy which uses the process load and communications graph to map the processes with the highest load onto the processors with the lowest load, while trying to keep communicating processes on the same processor
RefineLB: move objects off overloaded processors to under-utilized processors to reach average load
Others: charm++ manual discusses several other load balancers which are not used as often, but may be useful in some cases; also, more are being developed
