On Preemptive Scheduling of Unrelated Parallel Processors by Linear Programming 论文

摘要

It IS shown that certain problems of optimal preemptive scheduling of unrelated parallel processors can be formulated and solved as hnear programming problems As a by-product of the linear programming formulaUons of these problems, upper bounds are obtained on the number of preempuons required for optimal schedules In particular it is shown that no more than O(m 2) preemptions are necessary, m order to schedule n jobs on m unrelated processors so as to minimize makespan
