We are designing an object oriented language, with a static number of objects, i.e. the number of objects is known at compile time. The problem is, how to distribute these objects on a grid of processors, with an optimum in parallel execution, but the communication between objects have to been considered also. It's an option to place heavy communicating objects on the same node (processor) in order to reduce network delay, etc. I'm already searching a month or so, for articles about this subject, but sofar nothing found. So EVERY reference wich touches or deals with this subject is welcome to me. PLEASE, PLEASE e-mail me with your contributions, and I will post a compilation of the references in the news groups eventualy. Thanks in advance, Benno.
