Integration of Automated and Use-Level Tools Toward Efficient Parallel Objects Allocation

摘要

Automated allocation tools do not achieve the same efficiency for all kinds of applications. A parallel programming environment should integrat high-level tools to permits users to easily adapt the behaviour of the automated allocation tools to the pecuiar application needs. The paper faces this probloem and presents a set of high-level directives to specify the allocation needs of the components of parallel applictions based on the active object model. The allocation directives can drive the allocation decissions of the automated tools, by tuning their general-purpose behaviour to the peculiar application needs.
