We consider a three-level parallelisation scheme. The second and third levels
define a classical two-level parallelisation scheme and some load balancing
algorithm is used to distribute tasks among processes. It is well-known that
for many applications the efficiency of parallel algorithms of the second and
third level starts to drop down after some critical parallelisation degree is
reached. This weakness of the two-level template is addressed by introduction
of one additional parallelisation level. As an alternative to the basic solver
some new or modified algorithms are considered on this level. The idea of the
proposed methodology is to increase the parallelisation degree by using less
efficient algorithms in comparison with the basic solver. As an example we
investigate two modified Nelder-Mead methods. For the selected application, a
few partial differential equations are solved numerically on the second level,
and on the third level the parallel Wang's algorithm is used to solve systems
of linear equations with tridiagonal matrices. A greedy workload balancing
heuristic is proposed, which is oriented to the case of a large number of
available processors. The complexity estimates of the computational tasks are
model-based, i.e. they use empirical computational data
