Claim One:
1. A method comprising: interacting with a modeling environment using a processor, where the modeling environment: executes a model, and determines a number of a plurality of facilities for computations to perform one or more associative operations in the model; and scheduling the plurality of facilities for computations to perform the one or more associative operations, the scheduling comprising: interacting with a representation of the plurality of facilities for computations, wherein: the representation comprises a first facility for computation and a second facility for computation from among the plurality of facilities for computations, the first facility for computation has a first latency, the first latency representing an amount of time for the first facility for computation to perform a first computation, the first facility for computation has a first position within the model and provides an output to a receiving facility for computation, the second facility for computation has a second latency, the second latency: representing an amount of time for the second facility for computation to perform a second computation, and representing a smaller amount of time than the first latency, and the second facility for computation has a second position in the model; and dynamically reconfiguring the plurality of facilities for computations, the dynamically reconfiguring comprising: comparing the first latency to the second latency to determine that an overall latency of the model may be reduced by swapping the first position of the first facility for computation and the second position of the second facility for computation so that the second facility for computation provides an output to the receiving facility for computation, and swapping the first position of the first facility for computation with the second position of the second facility for computation in the model.
