Abstract
The performance of Distributed Heterogeneous Computing System depends on the algorithm which schedules input DAG graph. Among various scheduling algorithms, list scheduling algorithm provides superior performance with low complexity. List scheduling consists of task prioritizing phase and processor allocation phase, but most studies only focus on task prioritizing phase. In this paper, we propose LIP policy which has the same complexity with traditional allocation policies but has superior performance. The performance of LIP has been observed by applying them to task prioritizing phase of traditional list scheduling algorithms, HCPT, HEFT, GCA, and PETS. The results show that LIP has better performance than insertion-based policy and non-insertion-based policy, which are traditional processor allocation policies.
