Abstract

In this paper, we consider the scheduling problem on identical parallel machines, in which jobs are arriving over time and preemption is not allowed. The goal is to minimize the total completion times. According to the idea of the Delayed-SPT Algorithm proposed by Hoogeven and Vestjens [Optimal on-line algorithms for single-machine scheduling. In: Proceedings 5th international conference on integer programming and combinatorial optimization (IPCO). Lecture notes in computer science, vol. 1084. Berlin: Springer; 1996. p. 404–14], we give an on-line algorithm for the scheduling problem on mm identical parallel machines. We show that this algorithm is 2-competitive and the bound is tight.
