We would be happy to reconsider a revised paper which would need to be rereviewed as it would have a very different balance from the current paper. We thank you for your interest in publishing in Concurrency:Practice and Experience. C380 Referee's report This is an interesting paper, which I would recommend for publication. I do however suggest clarifying section 4. I did not understand why there was little dependence on n -- the number of equations. Surely there is at least a linear dependence on this and perhaps for Schrodinger case a quadratic form. Also some comment on the observed speedup would be helpful. One could look at this naively compared to sequential limit of given algorithm and better compared to optimal sequential method. C380 Letter Dear XYZ, We enclose a referee report on C380: We would be pleased to publish your paper without further review. We suggest that you make the modest changes by the referee and look forward to a Revised Version, which should be accompanied by a memo describing your response to the referee. We thank you for your interest in publishing in Concurrency:Practice and Experience. C379 Referee Report This is an interesting paper, which certainly is of the quality appropriate for publication. The formulation seems interesting and novel but perhaps does not reference related references properly. Several groups have studied DSMC and similar particle in the cell codes with attention to load balancing. The type of dynamic load balancing considered by authors is important in other areas such as discrete event simulations used in modeling and simulation community. The paper could be improved if it is placed in this more general context.
