Abstract
Method and system aspects for mapping tasks to iteratively improve task assignment in a heterogeneous computing (HC) system include identifying a current machine that defines a makespan in the HC system. Further included is the reassigning of at least one task from the current machine to at least one alternate machine in the HC system according to a predefined reassignment constraint. Reassigning also includes reassigning the at least one task when the at least one alternate machine can perform the at least one task in addition to previously assigned work while finishing in less time than the time of the makespan reduced by time required for the task being reassigned.
