We consider the problem of scheduling a set of independent multiprocessor tasks on three dedicated processors in order to minimize the makespan. We propose a new heuristic, called Divide Uniprocessor Tasks (DUT), and we provide simulation results comparing the eectiveness of DUT with previously know

This paper is organized as follows. We describe the formulation of the problem and the required definitions in Section II. In Section III, the performance improvement over [6] due to processor isomorphism and look ahead pruning in reducing the search space is explained, along with a note on the lowe
This paper considers an m-machine permutation flowshop scheduling problem of minimizing the makespan. This classical scheduling problem is still important in modem manufacturing systems, and is well known to be intractable (i.e., NP-hard). In fact branch-and-bound algorithms developed so far for thi
