Abstract

We present a task duplication based scheduling algorithm for shared memory multiprocessors (SMPs), called S2MP (scheduling for SMP), to address the problem of task scheduling. This algorithm employs heuristics to select duplication of tasks so that schedule length is reduced/minimized. The performance of the S2MP algorithm has been observed by comparing the schedule length under various number of processors and the ratio of communication to computation cost.
