Taskgraph Mapping Using a Genetic Algorithm: A Comparison of Fitness Functions

Abstract A set of parallel processes, represented by an undirected taskgraph with weighted vertices and edges, is mapped to a multicomputer system with an arbitrary interconnection network using a genetic algorithm with parallel populations. Results are presented for mapping thirty taskgraphs onto an nCUBE 2 computer and a comparison is made between several fitness functions on the performance on each mapping.
