Interface Option 2

A minimalist approach to the design of the PPF give the developers more freedom to apply PPF to various problems and code structures. However, the PPF will not be able to guaranty load balancing and development under these loose guidelines may be detrimental to the integrity of the architecture of the package. A minimal interface for the PPF package must include the following methods.

• PPF.moveTo Move a particle to a different node
• PPF.sendParticles Send all of the particles frozen on a nodes edge to the neighboring node.
• PPF.recieveParticles Receive particle list being sent from a different node.

This model assumes that all other concerns of particles positions are handled by the package developer.
