Abstract
A method is described for configuring a system having a plurality of processors to provide the system with at least one cluster of processors, where each cluster has one service point. A distance is computed from each processor to other processors in the system. A plurality of total distances is then computed, where each total distance is associated with one processor. A minimum total distance is determined from the plurality of total distances. One processor is assigned to be the service point; this processor is the processor having the minimum total distance associated therewith.

11. A method for configuring a system having a plurality of processors to provide the system with at least one cluster of processors, each cluster having one service point, the method comprising the steps of:
-
computing a distance from each processor to other processors in the system;
computing a plurality of total distances, where each total distance is associated with one processor;
determining a minimum total distance from the plurality of total distances; and
assigning as the service point the processor having the minimum total distance associated therewith. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
