Abstract

Task scheduling in heterogeneous parallel and distributed computing environment is a challenging problem. Applications identified by parallel tasks can be represented by directed-acyclic graphs (DAGs). Scheduling refers to the assignment of these parallel tasks on a set of bounded heterogeneous processors connected by high speed networks. Since task assignment is an NP-complete problem, instead of finding an exact solution, scheduling algorithms are developed based on heuristics, with the primary goal of minimizing the overall execution time of the application or schedule length. In this paper, the overall execution time (schedule length) of the tasks is reduced using task duplication on top of the Critical-Path-On-a-Processor (CPOP) algorithm.
