چکیده

We are given a set of identical machines and a sequence of jobs, the sum of whose weights is known in advance. The jobs are to be assigned on-line to one of the machines and the objective is to minimize the makespan. An algorithm with performance ratio 1.6 and a lower bound of 1.5 is presented. These results improve on the recent results by Azar and Regev, who proposed an algorithm with performance ratio 1.625 for the less general problem that the optimal makespan is known in advance.

Pre-scheduling and Scheduling of Task Graph on Homogeneous Multiprocessor Systems

Task graph scheduling is a multi-objective optimization and NP-hard problem. In this paper a new algorithm on homogeneous multiprocessors systems is proposed. Basically, scheduling algorithms are targeted to balance the two parameters of time and energy consumption. These two parameters are up to a certain limit in contrast with each other and improvement of one causes reduction in the othe...

The On-Line Multiprocessor Scheduling Problem with Known Sum of the Tasks

In this paper we investigate a semi on-line multiprocessor scheduling problem. The problem is the classical on-line multiprocessor problem where the total sum of the tasks is known in advance. We show an asymptotic lower bound on the performance ratio of any algorithm (as the number of processors gets large), and present an algorithm which has performance ratio at most √ 6+1 2 < 1.725 for any n...

Optimal Two Stages Specially Structured Flow Shop Scheduling: Minimize the Rental Cost with Independent Setup Time

One of the earliest results in flow shop scheduling theory is an algorithm given by Johnson’s [1] for scheduling jobs on two or three machines to minimize the total elapsed time whenever the processing times of jobs are random. The present paper is an attempt to develop a heuristic algorithm for two stages specially structured flow shop scheduling in which the processing times of the jobs a...

MOCA: A multiprocessor on-line competitive algorithm for real-time system scheduling

Koren, G. and D. Shasha, MOCA: a multiprocessor on-line competitive algorithm for real-time system scheduling, Theoretical Computer Science 128 (1994) 75-97. We study competitive on-line scheduling in multiprocessor real-time environments. In our model, every task has a deadline and a value that it obtains only if it completes by its deadline. A task can be assigned to any processor, all of whi...
