Abstract
A workflow is designated for execution across a plurality of autonomous computational entities automatically. Among other things, the cost of computation is balanced with the cost of communication among computational entities to reduce total execution time of a workflow. In other words, a balance is struck between grouping tasks for execution on a single computational entity and segmenting tasks for execution across multiple computational entities.
