This paper studies task scheduling algorithms which schedule a set of tasks on multiple cores so that the total scheduling length is minimized. Most of the algorithms developed in the past assume that a task is executed on a single core. Unlike the previous algorithms, the algorithms studied in this paper allow a task to be executed on multiple cores. This paper proposes six algorithms. All of the six algorithms are based on list scheduling, but the strategy for priority assignment is different. In our experiments, the six algorithms as well as an integer linear programming method are evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
