A system and method for mapping application tasks to processors in a computing environment that takes into account the hardware communication topology of a machine and an application communication pattern. The hardware communication topology (HCT) is defined according to hardware parameters affecting communication between two tasks, such as connectivity, bandwidth and latency; and, the application communication pattern (ACP) is defined to mean the number and size of bytes that are communicated between the different pairs of communicating tasks. By collecting information on the messages exchanged by the tasks that communicate, the communication pattern of the application may be determined. By combing the HCT and ACP a cost model for a given mapping can be determined. Any algorithm computing a mapping can use the HCT, ACP, and the cost model, thus the combination of an HCT, ACP, and cost model allow an automatically optimized mapping of tasks to processing elements to be achieved
