Abstract: This paper studies the problem of scheduling model Pm|fixpj=1|Cmax,that schedules a set of n independent multiprocessor jobs with unit process time and prespecified processor allocation on a set of identical processors in order to minimize the makespan.The general problem Pm|fix|Cmax,that has widely been used in various fields such as the network parallel computing,the multi-casting system and the project plan,is proved to be NP-hard and cannot be approximated within a constant factor unless P=NP.This paper proposes an approximation algorithm for this problem based on the approximation clique partition method.By the analysis from test data,this algorithm presents more optional ratio preference.

摘要: 研究多处理机任务调度模型Pm|fixpj=1|Cmax,即在m个处理机系统中调度n个时间长度都为1的多处理机任务,每个任务指派到所需一组处理机上不可剥夺地执行。这类问题在网络并行计算、多播系统及工程规划等领域都有广泛的应用,但早已被证明为NP难问题,而且也不存在常数近似算法。基于团划分方法构造了该问题的多项式时间近似算法,通过模拟实验进行了验证,和最大宽度优先(LWF)算法相比,该算法花费时间较长,近似比性能要好。
