Williams, E

A message-based approach to interprocess communication is widely accepted for distributed computing. The author presents objectives necessary for assigning processes to processors in a distributed environment. Two objectives have previously been identified, neither has considered actual message delays. The author gives two new objectives and shows how all four objectives are related to actual message delays. The importance of these objectives is illustrated by a realistic example from numerical analysis. This example was run on a testbed, consisting of a compiler and simulator used to run CSP-like programs on user specified architectures. 9 references.
