Task Scheduling problem for heterogeneous systems is concerned with arranging the various tasks to be executed on various processors of a system so that computing resources are utilized most effectively. Parallel processing refers to the concept of speeding-up the execution of a task by dividing the task into multiple fragments that can execute simultaneously, each on its own processor i.e. it is the simultaneous processing of the task on two or more processors in order to obtain faster results. It can be effectively used for tasks that involve a large number of calculations, have time constraints and can be divided into a number of smaller tasks. The scheduling problem deals with the optimal assignment of a set of tasks onto parallel multiprocessor system and orders their execution so that the total completion time is minimized. An Optimal scheduling of parallel tasks with some precedence relationship, onto a parallel machine is known to be NP-complete. This precedence relationship among tasks can be represented as Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). In this paper, a scheduling algorithm has been proposed to schedule DAG tasks on Heterogeneous processor which uses Genetic algorithm to get optimal schedule. The scheduling problem is also considered. This study includes a search for an optimal mapping of the task and their sequence of execution and also search for an optimal configuration of the parallel system. An approach for the simultaneous optimization of all these three components of scheduling method using genetic algorithm is presented and its performance is evaluated in comparison with the Min-Min and Max-Min scheduling methods.

Background: In order to make up for the shortcomings of the traditional algorithm, Min-Min and Max-Min algorithm are combined on the basis of the traditional genetic algorithm. Methods: In this paper, a new cloud computing task scheduling algorithm is proposed, which introduces Min-Min and Max-Min algorithm to generate initialization population, and selects task completion time and load balancing as double fitness functions, which improves the quality of initialization population, algorithm search ability and convergence speed. Results: The simulation results show that the algorithm is superior to the traditional genetic algorithm and is an effective cloud computing task scheduling algorithm. Conclusion: Finally, this paper proposes the possibility of the fusion of the two quadratively improved algorithms and completes the preliminary fusion of the algorithm, but the simulation results of the new algorithm are not ideal and need to be further studied.

This paper puts forward an improved genetic scheduling algorithm in order to improve the execution efficiency of task scheduling of the heterogeneous multi-core processor system and give full play to its performance. The attribute values and the high value of tasks were introduced to structure the initial population, randomly selected a method with the 50% probability to sort for task of individuals of the population, thus to get high quality initial population and ensured the diversity of the population. The experimental results have shown that the performance of the improved algorithm was better than that of the traditional genetic algorithm and the HEFT algorithm. The execution time of tasks was reduced.

Reasonable Use

Use genetic algorithm for task allocation and scheduling has get more and more scholars' attention. How to reasonable use of computing resources make the total and average time of complete the task shorter and cost smaller is an important issue. The paper presents a genetic algorithm consider total task completion time, average task completion time and cost constraint. Compared with algorithm that only consider cost constraint (CGA) and adaptive algorithm that only consider total task completion time by the simulation experiment. Experimental results show that this algorithm is a more effective task scheduling algorithm in the cloud computing environment.

Efficient Schedule

A CrosFDH-GA algorithm is proposed for the task scheduling problem on the NoC-based MPSoC regarding the multicriterion optimization. First of all, four common criterions, namely, makespan, data routing energy, average link load, and workload balance, are extracted from the task scheduling problem on NoC and are used to construct the DEA DMU model. Then the FDH analysis is applied to the problem, and a FDH cross efficiency formulation is derived for evaluating the relative advantage among schedule solutions. Finally, we introduce the DEA approach to the genetic algorithm and propose a CrosFDH-GA scheduling algorithm to find the most efficient schedule solution for a given scheduling problem. The simulation results show that our FDH cross efficiency formulation effectively evaluates the performance of schedule solutions. By conducting comparative simulations, our CrosFDH-GA proposal produces more metrics-balanced schedule solution than other multicriterion algorithms.
