Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method (100) for creating a load balanced spatial partitioning of a structured, diffusing system of particles with pairwise interactions comprises steps of: assigning a weight corresponding to a computational cost for a pair interaction of particles to a simulation space distance between the particles (106); performing a spatial partitioning (108) of the simulation space; and assigning computation of pair interaction to any node that has the positions of both particles (110). The method can also be implemented as machine executable instructions executed by a programmable information processing system or as hard coded logic in a specialized computing apparatus (200) such as an …
