A Load Balancing Library (ALL)
The library aims to provide an easy way to include dynamic domain-based
load balancing into particle based simulation codes. The library is
developed in the Simulation Laboratory Molecular Systems of the Jülich
Supercomputing Centre at Forschungszentrum Jülich.
Only a brief summary is given here and more information can be found in
the official documentation such as a detailed API
description, examples and further information regarding the load
balancing methods.

Installation and Requirements

Requirements
Base requirements:

C++11 capable compiler
MPI support
CMake v. 3.14 or higher

Optional requirements:

Fortran 2003 capable compiler (Fortran interface)
Fortran 2008 capable compiler (Usage of the mpi_f08 interface)
VTK 7.1 or higher (Domain output)
Boost testing utilities
Doxygen and Sphinx with breathe (Documentation)


Installation

Clone the library from
https://gitlab.version.fz-juelich.de/SLMS/loadbalancing into
$ALL_ROOT_DIR.
Create the build directory $ALL_BUILD_DIR some place else.
Call cmake -S "$ALL_ROOT_DIR" -B "$ALL_BUILD_DIR" to set up the
installation.  To use a specific compiler and Boost installation
use: CC=gcc CXX=g++ BOOST_ROOT=$BOOST_DIR cmake [...].
To build and install the library then run: cmake --build "$ALL_BUILD_DIR" and cmake --install "$ALL_BUILD_DIR".
Afterwards, the built examples and library files are placed in
$ALL_INSTALL_DIR.
