In this paper, the performance improvement of distributed software is modeled as a search problem that is solved by heuristic search algorithms such as genetic search methods. To achieve this, firstly, all aspects of the distributed execution of a software is specified by an analytical performance evaluation function that not only evaluates the current deployment of the software from the performance perspective but also can be applied to propose the near-optimal object deploy-ment for that software. This analytical function is applied as the Heuristic search objective function. In this paper a novel statement reordering method is also presented which is used to generate the search objective function such that the best solution in the search space can be found.展开更多

We propose several algorithms based on types of objectives function to be optimized when dealing with simultaneous minimization problems with and without weight and hierarchical minimization problems. The proposed Algorithm (3) is to find the set of efficient solutions for 1//F (V<sub>max</sub>, T<sub>max</sub>, E<sub>max</sub>) and 1//(V<sub>max</sub> + T<sub>max</sub> + E<sub>max</sub>). The Local Search Heuristic Methods (Descent Method (DM), Simulated Annealing (SA), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and the Tree Type Heuristics Method (TTHM) are applied to solve all suggested problems. Finally, the experimental results of Algorithm (3) are compared with the results of the Branch and Bound (BAB) method for optimal and Pareto optimal solutions for smaller instance sizes and compared to the Local Search Heuristic Methods for large instance sizes. These results ensure the efficiency of Algorithm (3) in a reasonable time.展开更多
