    ABSTRACT:: In this report, an integrated system approach to dynamic
               resource allocation is proposed. Some of the problems in
               dynamic resource allocation and the relationship of these
               problems to system structures are examined. A general dynamic
               resource allocation scheme is presented. A hierarchical
               system architecture which dynamically maps between processor
               structure and programs at multiple levels of instantiations
               is described. Simulation experiments have been conducted to
               study dynamic resource allocation on the proposed system.
               Preliminary evaluation based on
               simple dynamic resource allocation algorithms indicates that
               with the proposed system approach, the complexity of dynamic
               resource management could be significantly reduced while
               achieving reasonably effective dynamic resource allocation.
