Distributed architectures are widely used in various application domains to cope with the increasing system complexity. In this work, we focus on finding a mapping from an application description to a distributed architecture platform, to optimize certain objectives while satisfying design constraints. Specifically, the mapping problem includes allocating functional tasks to distributed processors and allocating messages to buses, scheduling tasks and messages, as well as deciding buffer sizes. This synthesis problem is still largely open nowadays. In three case studies, we developed a set of algorithms to address various aspects of mapping, including applying on different types of architecture platforms, exploring different design variables and optimizing different optimization objectives.
