Computationally-efficient resource allocation

This invention describes a way to efficiently assign tasks or items (like computing jobs) to available resources (like processors). It works by first creating a kind of virtual map where the tasks are arranged based on their connections, like particles in a physics simulation. This arrangement then guides a search on a different map representing the resources, allowing the tasks to find and claim their optimal spots among the resources. The claims specifically narrow this to assigning computing jobs to processing units.
