This article addresses a challenging industrial problem known as the unrelated parallel machine scheduling (UPMSP) with sequence-dependent setup times. In UPMSP, we have set of machines and group jobs. The goal is to find optimal way schedule jobs for execution by one several available machines. UPMSP has been classified an NP-hard optimisation and, thus, cannot be solved exact methods. Meta-he...

Nowdays, energy consumption as a critical issue in distributed computing systems with high performance has become so green computing tries to energy consumption, carbon footprint and CO2 emissions in high performance computing systems (HPCs) such as clusters, Grid and Cloud that a large number of parallel. Reducing energy consumption for high end computing can bring various benefits such as red...

Nowadays, by successful application of on time production concept in other concepts like production management and storage, the need to complete the processing of jobs in their delivery time is considered a key issue in industrial environments. Unrelated parallel machines scheduling is a general mood of classic problems of parallel machines. In some of the applications of unrelated parallel mac...
