Hill-climbing heuristics for optimal hardware dimensioning and software allocation in fault-tolerant distributed systems / F. Distante, V. Piuri. - In: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON RELIABILITY. - ISSN 0018-9529. - 38:1(1989), pp. 28-39.
Abstract:
An optimum distributed architecture with fault-tolerance capabilities for a given software application may be obtained by allowing allocation algorithms to evolve without any existing-hardware constraint. Distributed software partitioning and allocation is done using the simulated annealing optimization algorithm. To define the cost function used by the optimization algorithm, a model for interacting processes constituting the software application is presented. Tuning of algorithm parameters has been considered to assure convergence at a reasonable cost in terms of computation time.
