Abstract
An apparatus and method for making fractional assignments of processing elements to processing nodes for stream-based applications in a distributed computer system includes determining an amount of processing power to give to each processing element. Based on a list of acceptable processing nodes, a determination of fractions of which processing nodes will work on each processing element is made. To update allocations of the amount of processing power and the fractions, the process is repeated.
