Task scheduling is a critical issue in heterogeneous environments as well as in homogeneous environments. A number of task scheduling algorithms for homogeneous environments have been proposed, whereas, a few for heterogeneous environments can be found in the literature. A novel task scheduling algorithm for heterogeneous environments, called the heterogeneous critical task （HCT） scheduling algorithm is presented. By means of the directed acyclic graph and the gantt graph, the HCT algorithm defines the critical task and the idle time slot. After determining the critical tasks of a given task, the HCT algorithm tentatively duplicates the critical tasks onto the processor that has the given task in the idle time slot, to reduce the start time of the given task. To compare the performance of the HCT algorithm with several recently proposed algorithms, a large set of randomly generated applications and the Gaussian elimination application are randomly generated. The experimental result has shown that the HCT algorithm outperforms the other algorithm.展开更多

First, how to map the resource assignment and task scheduling （RATS） problem into the optimization selection problem of task resource assignment graph （TRAG） and to add the semaphore mechanism in the optimal TRAG to solve deadlocks are explained. Secondly, how to utilize the grid pheromone system model to realize the algorithm based on ACS is explicated. This refers to the construction of TRAG by the random selection of appropriate resources for each task by the user agent and the optimization of TRAG through the positive feedback and distributed parallel computing mechanism of the ACS. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and efficient in solving the deadlock problem.展开更多

The main ideas of the algorithm are as follows: firstly suppose that all of the tasks are in different clusters; secondly, select one of the critical paths of the partially clustered directed acyclic graph; thirdly, try to zero one of graph communication edges; fourthly, repeat above three processes until all edges are zeroed; finally, check the generated clusters to see if some of them can be further merged without increasing the parallel time. Comparisons of the previous algorithms with edge-zeroing based on dynamic critical paths show that the new algorithm has not only a low complexity but also a desired performance comparable or even better on average to much higher complexity heuristic algorithms.展开更多
