Seamless place and route for heterogenous network of processor cores

Methods and systems related to parallel computing using heterogeneous networks of computational nodes are disclosed herein. A method for executing a complex computation on a heterogeneous set of computational nodes linked together by a set of links in a network is disclosed. The method includes compiling, using a table of bandwidth values for the set of links in the network, a set of instructions for routing data for the execution of the complex computation. The method also includes configuring a set of programmable controllers on the heterogeneous set of computational nodes with the set of instructions. The method also includes executing the set of instructions using the set of programmable controllers. The method also includes routing data through the network to facilitate the execution of the complex computation by the heterogeneous set of computational nodes and in response to the execution of the instructions.
