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

In this paper, to solve this problem, a Hybrid Task Scheduling Algorithm in Grid (HTS) has been presented, which joint the advantages of Ant Colony and Genetic Algorithm. Compared with the related work, the result shows that the HTS algorithm significantly surpasses the previous approaches in schedule length ratio and speedup.展开更多
文摘A new static task scheduling algorithm named edge-zeroing based on dynamic critical paths is proposed. 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.
