Optimization of processor characteristics and large scale system optimization through domain decomposition

A processor requirements optimization system comprising:

• an input module operable to receive a set of system configuration constraints;
• a formulation module operable to formulate the set of system configuration constraints as a set of linear inequalities and an objective function;
• a mixed integer linear programming module operable to optimize the objective function over a convex polytope of the set of linear inequalities to obtain an optimal solution;
• and
• a determining module operable to determine processor requirements for a system based on the optimal solution.
