The Algorithm for Task Scheduling based on the Minimum Distance in the Signal Parameters Set

In the Parallel Test System, the testing programs are to compete for instruments concurrently. Therefore, how to allocate instruments and schedule task is a key to parallel test. Current Scheduling Algorithms are not fit for heterogeneous Parallel Test System. Based on the Signal-Orientation description of the instruments resource and the need for testing, an algorithm designed for heterogeneous Parallel Test System was proposed. The algorithm allocates instruments resource based on the minimum distance in the signal parameters set. The realization of the algorithm was discussed. The experimental result shows that the given algorithm is fit for Parallel Test System.
