The initial partitioning of a distributed computing problem can be critical, and is often a source of tedium for the user. A method is provided that automatically segments the problem into fixed sized collections of original program cells (OPCs) based on the complexity of the problem specified, and the combination of computing agents of various caliber available for the overall job. The OPCs that are on the edge of a collection can communicate with OPCs on the edges of neighboring collections, and are indexed separately from OPCs that are within the `core` or inner non-edge portion of a collection. Consequently, core OPCs can iterate independently of whether any communication occurs between collections and groups of collections (VPPs). All OPCs on an edge have common dependencies on remote information (i.e., their neighbors are all on the same edge of a neighboring collection).
