Abstract

We investigate the problem of non-clairvoyant scheduling of independent parallel tasks on single and multiple multicore processors. For a single multicore processor, we derive an asymptotic worst-case performance bound for a non-clairvoyant offline scheduling algorithm called largest task first (LTF). The result improves our previous result on a single parallel computing system. For multiple multicore processors, we derive an asymptotic worst-case performance bound for the LTF algorithm. To the best of our knowledge, there has been little result on scheduling parallel tasks on multiple parallel computing systems. For multiple multicore processors, we also derive an asymptotic average-case performance bound for a non-clairvoyant online scheduling algorithm called random task first (RTF). The result extends our earlier result on a single parallel computing system. Extensive simulation results are also demonstrated.
