Analysis of an Approximation Algorithm for Scheduling Independent Parallel Tasks

In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling independent parallel tasks in parallel systems with identical processors. The problem is NP-hard, since it includes the bin packing problem as a special case when all tasks have unit execution time. We propose and analyze a simple approximation al...
