Making parallel systems easy to use, and parallel programs easy to write and run, are two major aims for parallel systems designers. This work describes an automatic configurer which attempts to lessen the effort a user should put to configure and run a parallel program on a network of parallel processors.
The configurer configures the program, as required by the operating system and produces the configured source of the program. The network is also configured by the configurer to meet the communication requirements of the configured program
