We study randomized on-line scheduling on mesh machines. We show that for scheduling independent jobs randomized algorithms can achieve a significantly better performance than deterministic ones; on the other hand with dependencies randomization does not help.

This paper addresses the non-preemptive on-line scheduling of parallel jobs. In particular we assume that the release dates and the processing times of the jobs are unknown. It is already known that for this problem Garey and Graham's list scheduling algorithm achieves the competitive factor 2 -1 m

Consider a number of jobs to be processed on a number of identical machines in parallel. A job has a processing time, a weight and a due date. If a job is followed by another job, a setup time independent of the machine is incurred. A three phase heuristic is presented for minimizing the sum of the
