Multiprocessor real-time systems are central to modern computing, underpinning applications from smart devices to industrial automation. Real-time scheduling in these systems ensures that diverse ...

We study the problem of obtaining feasible preemptive schedules for independent jobs. It is assumed that each job has associated with it a release and due time. No job can begin before its release ...

We give an O(n log n) time algorithm to preemptively schedule n equal-length jobs with release times on two identical, parallel machines so as to minimize the mean flow time. The complexity of the ...
