We present solutions to statically load-balance scatter operations in parallel codes run on Grids. Our load-balancing strategy is based on the modification of the data distributions used in scatter operations. We study the replacement of scatter operations with a parameterized scatter, allowing a custom distribution of data. The paper presents: 1) a general algorithm which finds an optimal distribution of data across processors; 2) a quicker guaranteed heuristic relying on hypotheses on communications and computations; 3) a policy on the ordering of the processors. Experimental results with an MPI scientific code illustrate the benefits obtained from our load-balancing.
