The main reason why only this single method is supported is that it is relatively simple to implement. However, it is as yet unclear whether cyclic blockwise distribution is sufficiently powerful for a wide class of distribution problems. In this paper the method will be analysed, showing that for a wide range of problems it is indeed sufficient. It will also be shown in which cases cyclic blockwise distribution can be expected to fail. From this analysis, it is possible to formulate practical guidelines to assist programmers in choosing the cycle frequency for cyclic blockwise distribution that leads to an optimal result.
