Abstract
In this paper we introduce a new parallel variant of simulated annealing for optimizing mesh partitions. We view this work as a first step towards a parallel multilevel algorithm for the load balancing problem. The serial execution time of the algorithm and the quality of the partitions it generates is compared to the well known METIS for three unstructured meshes. Finally, some preliminary experimental results regarding the performance of the proposed parallel variant of simulated annealing on a cluster of workstations are presented.
