Abstract

The matter of using scheduling algorithms in parallel computing environments is discussed in the paper. A parallel path-relinking approach based on scatter search metaheuristics is proposed for the flow shop problem with Cmaxand Csumcriteria. Obtained results are very promising: the superlinear speedup is observed for some versions of the parallel algorithm.
