On the previous slide, we can see that "orchestration" involves task scheduling. However, the role of "mapping" is to distribute tasks to execution units, which is also a kind of task scheduling. Therefore, what is the difference between the task scheduling of "orchestration" and that of "mapping"?

I believe "orchestration" is a higher level concept as compared to "mapping", whereas "mapping" probably refers more to how certain tasks are mapped to the computing units, "orchestration" defines relationships between how and when tasks are supposed to run, irrespective of how they are mapped to physical resources.
