Circuit-switched multicomputers and heuristic load placement

In this thesis, we examine two areas germane to ensemble, or multicomputer, systems: communication between individual computers and the placement of the individual components of a parallel program in the ensemble. These topics are related. Programs that execute on ensemble systems must be partitioned, and those components must communicate to be effective. We assume the raison d'etre of ensemble systems is performance; the methods used to solve problems, and the implementation of those methods on an ensemble system depend on the communication and computational performance of the ensemble system.
