چکیده

A heuristic algorithm that uses iteratively LPT and MF approaches on different job and machine sets constructed by using the current solution is developed to solve a classical multiprocessor scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. Computational results indicate that the proposed algorithm is very competitive with respect to well-known constructive algorithms for a large number of benchmark instances.

A new algorithm for minimizing makespan on identical parallel machines

A heuristic algorithm is developed for the classical multiprocessor scheduling problem in which independent jobs are nonpreemptively scheduled on identical parallel machines with the objective of minimizing the makespan. The algorithm uses iteratively the LPT procedure followed by the MultiFit procedure on different job and machine sets. The effectiveness of our algorithm is evaluated through c...

Approximation Algorithm of Minimizing Makespan in Parallel Bounded Batch Scheduling∗

We consider the problem of minimizing the makespan(Cmax) on m identical parallel batch processing machines. The batch processing machine can process up to B jobs simultaneously. The jobs that are processed together form a batch, and all jobs in a batch start and complete at the same time. For a batch of jobs, the processing time of the batch is equal to the largest processing time among the job...

Solving a New Multi-objective Unrelated Parallel Machines Scheduling Problem by Hybrid Teaching-learning Based Optimization

This paper considers a scheduling problem of a set of independent jobs on unrelated parallel machines (UPMs) that minimizesthe maximum completion time (i.e., makespan or ), maximum earliness ( ), and maximum tardiness ( ) simultaneously. Jobs have non-identical due dates, sequence-dependent setup times and machine-dependentprocessing times. A multi-objective mixed-integer linear programmi...

Minimizing Flowtime Subject to Optimal Makespan on Two Identical Parallel Machines

We consider the problem of scheduling jobs on two parallel identical machines where an optimal schedule is defined as one that gives the smallest total flowtime (the sum of the completion time of all jobs) among the set of schedules with optimal makespan (the completion time of the latest job). Utilizing an existing optimization algorithm for the minimization of makespan, we propose an algorith...

Minimizing makespan on parallel machines subject to release dates and delivery times

We consider the problem of minimizing the makespan on identical parallel machines subject to release dates and delivery times. The objective of this paper is to develop exact branch-and-bound algorithms to solve this strongly NP-hard problem. A preprocessing algorithm is devised to speed up the convergence of the proposed algorithms, and a new tight bounding scheme is introduced. The search tre...
