In this paper we present a multi-objective genetic algorithm to solve the problem of mapping a set of task graphs onto a heterogeneous multiprocessor platform. The objective is to meet all real-time deadlines subject to minimizing system cost and power consumption, while staying within bounds on local memory sizes and interface buffer sizes. Our approach allows for mapping onto a fixed platform or onto a flexible platform where architectural changes are explored during the mapping. We
