Abstract:
Abstract We consider the problem of scheduling on uniform processors which may not start processing at the same time with the purpose of minimizing the maximum completion time. We provide a variant of the MULTIFIT algorithm which generates schedules which end within 1.382 times the optimal maximum completion time for the general problem, and within $$\sqrt{6}/2$$ times the optimal maximum completion time for problem instances with two processors. Experimental results suggest that our algorithm is a viable option for addressing this problem in practice.
