Abstract
This paper considers the problem of automatically configuring multicomputers for use in embedded applications. The configuration problem is decomposed into two subproblems: (1) specification of the hardware components and (2) assignment of the software tasks to the hardware. An automated technique is introduced to solve these subproblems concurrently. The technique is described and then verified on a set of real and synthetic test cases. The paper concludes with a discussion and summary of the results
