Abstract

In this study, we propose some simple greedy algorithms for the multi-processor job scheduling problem. Given list of jobs are arranged according to the time duration for processing. The results of the proposed algorithms are compared with the first-come first-serve (FCFS) job scheduling approach and shown to be superior.
