Obtaining a good load balance is a significant challenge in scaling up lattice-Boltzmann simulations of realistic sparse problems to the exascale. Here we analyse the effect of two optimization techniques on the performance of the HemeLB lattice-Boltzmann simulation environment, when applied to sparse domains. Both techniques are applied prior to partitioning our domain using a third party library. One technique is to provide wall and in/outlet sites with increased weights, and the other is to sort the lattice sites according to a space filling curve. We tested these strategies on a sparse bifurcation and very sparse aneurysm geometry, and find that using weights reduces calculation load imbalance by up to 85%, although the overall communication overhead is higher is some of our runs.
