Abstract: The CAOS Application Builder is a Graphical Programming Environment which allows the building of complex simulation applications by putting together elementary blocks. The resulting simulation programs are often very heavy in computational needs and could be profitably run on Beowulf-like clusters, provided the computational load can be efficiently distributed on the CPUs. In the paper we describe a project to provide the CAOS Application Builder with software tools which allow the user to optimize the distribution of blocks on a multi-CPU machine and show a few preliminary results.
