Integrated resource assignment and scheduling of task graphs using finite domain constraints

This paper presents an approach to modeling of task graphs using finite domain constraints. The synthesis of such models into an architecture consisting of microprocessors, ASICs and communication devices, is then defined as an optimization problem and it is solved using constraint solving techniques. The presented approach offers an elegant and powerful modeling technique for different architecture features as well as heterogeneous constraints. The extensive experimental results prove the feasibility of this approach.
