This paper addresses the problem of scheduling parallel program tasks onto computational grid to minimize the execution time of the parallel program and the number of required processing elements. This task scheduling problem is known to be NP-complete. Existing scheduling algorithms either assume a fixed number of processing elements, or generate schedules that need more processing elements than necessary, which is especially obvious when using task duplication technique. To overcome the weaknesses, we propose a genetic scheduling algorithm using task duplication. The proposed algorithm can yield schedules with shorter execution time and fewer required processing elements, and without useless task duplications. The conditions under which the algorithm performs best were highlighted.
