<p>The present invention relates to a data processing system for assigning a set of objects to processing units of a cluster (100) of processing units, each processing unit having a capacity for accommodating objects, the data processing system comprising: means (114, 130) for selection of a first or a second mode of operation, means (116, 118, 120, 122) for determining a distribution of the set of objects over a set of the processing units, means (116, 118, 120, 122) for determining a minimum number of the processing units that have sufficient capacities to accommodate the set of objects,
wherein in the first mode of operation the set of the processing units contains all processing units of the cluster, and in the second mode of operation the set of the processing units contains the minimum number of the processing units.</p> |
