Abstract
The partitioning of an adaptive grid for distribution over parallel processors is considered in the context of adaptive multilevel methods for solving partial differential equations. A k-way refinement-tree based partitioning method is presented. Numerical results comparing it with recursive coordinate bisection and a multilevel diffusive method from ParMETIS show that it runs and order of magnitude faster than the multilevel diffusive method and produces partitions of similar quality.Proceedings Title
