Scheduling parallel tasks, represented as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) or task graph, on a multiprocessor system has been an important research area in the past decades. List scheduling algorithms assign priorities to a node or an edge in an input DAG, and then generate a schedule according to the assigned priorities. This appear proposes a list scheduling algorithms with effective method of priority assignments. The paper also analyzes the worst case performance and optimality condition for the proposed algorithm. The performance comparison study shows that the proposed algorithms outperforms existing scheduling algorithms especially for input DAGs with high communication overheads. The performance improvement over existing algorithms becomes larger as the input DAG becomes more dense and the level of parallelism in the DAG is increased.

The performance of Distributed Heterogeneous Computing System depends on the algorithm which schedules input DAG graph. Among various scheduling algorithms, list scheduling algorithm provides superior performance with low complexity. List scheduling consists of task prioritizing phase and processor allocation phase, but most studies only focus on task prioritizing phase. In this paper, we propose LIP policy which has the same complexity with traditional allocation policies but has superior performance. The performance of LIP has been observed by applying them to task prioritizing phase of traditional list scheduling algorithms, HCPT, HEFT, GCA, and PETS. The results show that LIP has better performance than insertion-based policy and non-insertion-based policy, which are traditional processor allocation policies.

Efficient DAG scheduling is critical for achieving high performance in heterogeneous computing environments. Finding an optimal solution to the problem of scheduling an application modeled by a directed acyclic graph(DAG) onto a set of heterogeneous machines is known to be an NP-complete problem. In this paper we propose a new list scheduling algorithm, called the Heterogeneous Rank-Path Scheduling(HRPS) algorithm, to exploit all of a program's available parallelism in distributed heterogeneous computing system. The primary goal of HRPS is to minimize the schedule length of applications. The performance of the algorithm has been observed by its application to some practical DAGs, and by comparing it with other existing scheduling algorithm such as CPOP, HCPT and FLB in term of the schedule length. The comparison studies show that HRPS significantly outperform CPOP, HCPT and FLB in schedule length.

The problem of scheduling general packet traffic on WDM optical interconnection networks is NP-complete, It is known that the list scheduling is a good approximation algurithm fur this problem, The resulting list schedules vary depending on the order of transmitters considered to be placed on each time slot We propose an improvement of the list scheduling that tries different orders of transmitters to obtain shorter schedule lengths, Genetic algorithms are used to explore various orders of transmitters.

Efficient Directed Acyclic Graph(DAG) scheduling is critical for achieving high performance in Distributed Heterogeneous computing System(DHCS). In this paper, we present a new high-performance scheduling algorithm, called the LCFT(Levelized Critical First Task) algorithm, for DHCS. The LCFT algorithm is a list-based scheduling that uses a new attribute to efficiently select tasks for scheduling in DHCS. The complexity of LCFT is $O(\upsilon+e)(p+log\;\upsilon)$. The performance of the algorithm has been observed by its application to some practical DAGs, and by comparing it with other existing scheduling algorithms such as PETS, HPS, HCPT and GCA in terms of the schedule length and SpeedUp. The comparison studies show that LCFT significantly outperforms PETS, HPS, HCPT and GCA in schedule length, SpeedUp.

Resource Constrained Dynamic Multi-Projects Scheduling(RCDMPS) is intended to minimize the total processing time(makespan) of two or more projects sequentially arriving at the shop under restricted resources. The aim of this paper is to develop the new Tabu Search heuristic for RCDMPS to minimize makespan. We propose the insertion method to generate the neighborhood solutions in applying the Tabu Search for the RCDMPS and the diversification strategy to search the solution space diversely. The proposed diversification strategy apply the dynamic tabu list that the tabu list size is generated and renewed at each iteration by the complexity of the project, and change the proposed tabu attribute. In this paper, We use the dynamic tabu list for the diversification strategy and intensification strategy in the tabu search, and compare with other dispatching heuristic method to verify that the new heuristic method minimize the makespan of the problem.

This paper deals with scheduling problems which are the most important subtask in High-Level Synthesis. Especially, we have concentrated our attentions on the data-path scheduling which can get the structural informaion trom the behavioral algorithm as a first step in synthesis procedure. Suggest Forward scheduling methode is executed the ASAP and ALAP scheduling to use the fifth - order elliptic wave filter of a standard benchmark moedl, and then it is drawing up T.N matrix table by the number resource and control-step, using the table extract of the simple than down-limit value of the control-step for the number of given resource th use this table. All of existing list scheduling techniques determine the priority function first, and then do the operation scheduling, But, the suggested forward scheduling technique does the schedule first, and determines the priority functions if needed in scheduling process.

Recently, the existing embedded real-time operating systems(RTOSs) are being developed in terms of various modified versions in every application fields. Major characteristics and difference of these OSs lie in their distinct development of mechanisms which can be used in various environment and task-scheduling function which can control time-limited contingencies. In this paper, we design and implement round/robin scheduling algorithm based on time-sharing with equal-priority for multiple tasks which are provided preemptive and priority task allocation function in $\mu{C/OS-II}$ version 2.03. We propose the most important event-ready list structure in $\mu{C/OS-II}$; kernel, and provide the running result for multiple tasks with equal priority for the proposed structure.
