A task management system, method and computer program product for determining optimal placement of task components on multiple machines for task execution, particularly for placing program components on multiple computers for distributed processing. First, a communication graph is generated representative of the computer program with each program unit (e.g., an object) represented as a node in the graph. Nodes are connected to other nodes by edges representative of communication between connected nodes. A weight is applied to each edge, the weight being a measure of the level of communication between the connected edges. Terminal nodes representative of the multiple computers are attached to the communication graph. Then, the communication graph is divided into independent nets and a min cut is found for each independent net. The min cut for the communication graph is the combination of the min cuts for all of the independent nets. Finally, program components which may be a single program unit or an aggregate of units are placed on computers according to the communication min cut.
