  abstract =     "The allocation of resources of multiprocessor hardware
                 to the separable components of parallel software has
                 proved difficult both in theory and in practice. In
                 this paper, a model of parallel hardware and
                 application programs is formulated that permits the
                 joint solution of two interdependent allocation
                 problems: the placement of a program`s code and data
                 into shared or distributed memory and the assignment of
                 a programs`s processes to multiple processors. In
                 addition, we describe a fast allocation heuristic that
                 employs user-supplied allocation hints to sequentially
                 perform placements and assignments for single, large,
                 parallel programs during program initialization. This
                 heuristic is evaluated experimentally on a sample
                 multiprocessor, which is the Cm multiprocessor. For
                 this evaluation, experimental data are derived from
                 several parallel applications programs executed on Cm.
                 The model and the heuristic are implemented within a
                 practical programming environment for Cm, The TASK tool
                 system, thereby making the Cm hardware partly
                 transparent to the application programmers.",
