Abstract :
In this paper, an approach for selecting an optimal suite of computers for solving problems with diverse computational requirements, called Heterogeneous Optimal Selection Theory (HOST), is presented. HOST is an extension to Augmented Optimal Selection Theory in two ways: It incorporates heterogeneous parallelism embedded in the tasks, and it reflects the costs associated in using various fine grain mapping strategies at individual machine level. Some related issues are discussed in this paper.<>
