  • About this edition

This book has been written for practitioners, researchers and stu� dents in the fields of parallel and distributed computing. Its objective is to provide detailed coverage of the applications of graph theoretic tech� niques to the problems of matching resources and requirements in multi� ple computer systems. There has been considerable research in this area over the last decade and intense work continues even as this is being written. For the practitioner, this book serves as a rich source of solution techniques for problems that are routinely encountered in the real world. Algorithms are presented in sufficient detail to permit easy implementa� tion; background material and fundamental concepts are covered in full. The researcher will find a clear exposition of graph theoretic tech� niques applied to parallel and distributed computing. Research results are covered and many hitherto unpublished spanning the last decade results by the author are included. There are many unsolved problems in this field-it is hoped that this book will stimulate further research.

The application of network flow algorithms to assignment problems in distributed computer systems was pioneered by Harold Stone (77a). He showed how an assignment problem can be transformed into a network flow problem such that there is a one-to-one correspondence between assignments and cutsets. For the case of two processor problems, the optimal assignment—which corresponds to the minimum weight cutset—can be found very efficiently using any one of several available network flow algorithms.

  5. Assignment Problems in Parallel and Distributed Computing

    Abstract: Task assignment is one of the core steps to effectively exploit the capabilities of distributed or parallel computing systems. The task assignment problem is an NP-complete problem. In this paper, we present a new task assignment algorithm that is based on the principles of particle swarm optimization (PSO).

  6. A Parallel Algorithm for Optimal Task Assignment in ...

    An efficient assignment of tasks to the processors is imperative for achieving a fast job turnaround time in a parallel or distributed enviornment. The assignment problem is well known to be NP-complete, except in a few special cases. Thus heuristics are used to obtain suboptimal solutions in reasonable amount of time.
