Program mapping onto network processors by recursive bipartitioning and refining

Mapping packet processing applications onto embedded network processors (NP) is a challenging task due to the unique constraints of NP systems and the characteristics of network application domains. A remarkable difference with general multiprocessor task scheduling is that NPs are often programmed into a hybrid parallel and pipeline topology.
