Titre / Title: Performance of Coffman-Graham schedules in presence of unit communication delays
Abstract : This paper studies the relative performance of the Coffman-Graham algorithm for scheduling unitary tasks on m processors with unitary communication delays. Using a particular decomposition of CG-schedules, we prove that its worst case relative performance is bounded by min(3-3/m, 2m/3+e).
For m=2, we show that this bound is tight. For m„3, we provide an instance of the problem for which the performance ratio is 3 -6 /(m+1).
