Abstract

In this paper we analyze scheduling multiple divisible loads on a star-connected system of identical processors. It is shown that this problem is computationally hard. Some special cases appear to be particularly difficult, so it is not even known if they belong to the class NP. Exponential algorithms and special cases solvable in polynomial time are presented.
