Scheduling of independent jobs in star graph networks

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the problem of how to schedule n independent jobs on an m -dimensional star graph based network. We develop a feasibility algorithm for preemptively scheduling a given set of jobs with dimension and time requirements on a star graph network of given size with a given deadline. We show that the algorithm runs in O ( n log n ) time where n is the number of jobs. We also develop a simple heuristic for nonpreemptive scheduling of jobs and study its lower and upper bounds.
