Preemptive Scheduling of Multiprocessor Tasks on the Dedicated Processor System Subject to Minimal Lateness

One of the assumptions in the classical scheduling theory is that any task can be processed by one processor at a time [1,5,7]. With the development of technology as well as parallel computer systems and parallel algorithms, this assumption becomes not so obvious. For example, consider a fault tolerant system in which several processors test each other [lo] or a testing system in which one processor stimulates the tested object and the other processor is simultaneously
