order.
In a parallel run, the per-processor dump file pieces can have
significant imbalance in number of lines of per-atom info. The *balance*
keyword determines whether the number of lines in each processor
snapshot are balanced to be nearly the same. A balance value of *no*
means no balancing will be done, while *yes* means balancing will be
performed. For a serial run, this option is ignored since the output is
already balanced. Dump sorting must be enabled to use balancing.
The dump *local* style cannot be sorted by atom ID, since there are
typically multiple lines of output per atom. Some dump styles, such
as *dcd* and *xtc*, require sorting by atom ID to format the output
