  abstract= "The problem of mapping parallel programs onto multiprocessor
     system is a fundmental problem of great significance in
     parallel processing, but it is NP-hard in general. In this
     paper we propose a fast heuristic algorithm to solve this
     problem on transputer networks. Our mapping algorithm
     consists of three modules: grouping, placement and routing,
     where grouping groups processes in the program into tasks
     which can be placed onto processors in the transputer
     network in a way of one-to-one, placement places the grouped
     tasks onto the processors and routing produces physical
     communication paths for logical communication requirements.
     The three modules work co-operatively in a way of
     progressive self-adjusting, and finally produce a
     satisfactory solution for the mapping problem."
