QuestionGiven a set of tasks T with an execution time for each one, and a group of equal processors, find the task's allocation that minimizes the total execution time for the processors. The total time of a group of processors is the longest time of all of them, because we consider that all the processors starts his execution threads at the same time, so the last processors that finishes his tasks is the one who delimits the total time of the group. |
