beneficial management practices (bmps) are important measures for reducing agricultural non-point source (nps) pollution. however, selection of bmps for placement in a watershed requires optimizing available resources to maximize possible water quality benefits. due to its iterative nature, the optimization typically takes a long time to achieve the bmp trade-off results which is not desirable ...

One of the important problems in parallel computing is the mapping of the parallel algorithm to the parallel computing platform. Hereby, for each parallel node the corresponding code for the parallel nodes must be implemented. For platforms with a limited number of processing nodes this can be done manually. However, in case the parallel computing platform consists of hundreds of thousands of p...
