The goal of task allocation in a set of interconnected processors (computers) is to maximize the efficient use of resources and reduce the job turnaround time. A simple but effective method to allocate the tasks in multicomputer systems for minimizing the interprocessor communication cost subject to resource limitations defined by the system and designer. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of the task allocation and reallocation for hardware fault tolerance by illustrations of applying the methods to different examples and practical communications network multiprocessor systems. 27 refs.
