Title: Linear-time algorithms for scheduling on parallel processors

Journal Article · · Oper. Res.; (United States)

Linear-time algorithms are presented for several problems of scheduling n equal-length tasks on m identical parallel processors subject to precedence constraints. This improves upon previous time bounds for the maximum lateness problem with treelike precedence constraints, the number-of-late-tasks problem without precedence constraints, and the one machine maximum lateness problem with general precedence constraints. 5 references.
