In this paper, a new scheduling model which integrates the communication awareness was proposed. Then, a novel scheduling algorithm based on list heuristic was put forward for the new model, which can produce optimal schedule by serializing the communications edges. Experimental results show that the accuracy and efficiency of the new model and algorithm are significantly improved.展开更多
