Automated task allocation and processor specification strategies for multi-computer systems

This paper considers the coupled design problems of task allocation and processor specification for embedded multi-computer systems. Two unique problem representations are proposed. The first representation involves multi-dimensional bin packing while the second is based on graph partitioning. Automated solution strategies are developed and evaluated for both representations. The paper concludes with a discussion of the results, pending research, and areas of future work. Automated Task Allocation and Processor Specification Strategies for Multi-Computer Systems
