Abstract

This paper presents a guided multi-restart search (GMRS) algorithm for scheduling parallel machines in terms of global optimum. GMRS consists of a strategic guided local search phase and a phase that generates a beneficial restart point using the information acquired during the local search. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm considerably improves the solution within a reasonable time.
