Abstract :
Load balancing is a key technology in parallel computation which determines the performance and scalability of parallel rendering system. Generally, only the balancing of rendering load is considered for previous load balancing methods, and the balancing of physical simulation load in the system is rarely considered. This paper presents a dynamic load balancing strategy which is based on screen partition of dual division and three-dimensional space division, realizing the load balancing of rendering load and physical simulation load in the parallel system.
