LIST SCHEDULING ALGORITHMS CLASSIFICATION: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY

: Multiprocessor scheduling is another name of task scheduling in form of algorithms that are mostly utilized in systematic as well as engineering appliance that is also known as the issue of NP-complete. The main aim of scheduling is the reduction of execution time. The illustration of task scheduling for multiprocessor scheduling is shown by DAG (Directed Acyclic graph). The categorization for this is into Static as well as dynamic scheduling. The list task scheduling is the example of static task scheduling algorithm. Varied task scheduling algorithms, like ISH, HLFET, MCP, ETF, CNPT and DLS are reviewed in this paper. The comparison of list task scheduling isdependent on metrics, termed as SLR, load balancing, efficiency and speed up.


INTRODUCTION
There is a lot of demand for high speed computing in different application areas. Because of the increasing power of computing, more and more power search has started increasing. A huge issue couldn't be explained by means of sequential machine in some span of time; therefore, a parallel machine with number of issues has been categorized and has been assign to associate problems on separate processors [1].
Parallel computing is most effective method for fulfilling the calculative constraint for different engineering and scientific applications. Two causes are there for the attractiveness and popularity of parallel computing: • Lessing computer hardware cost • Application performance that cannot be executed by conservative computers Task allocation for the accessible processors for precedence limitation amid tasks for the processors is the aim of task scheduling. In this, the execution time should be less. The representation of application plan is characterized by DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph).Task scheduling is known as NP-completed for some of the restricted cases [2].Two variants are there, which are connected with task scheduling algorithm. Initial variant is either for judging the presence of communication time and the subsequent variant can be multiprocessor or homogenous system. It is consisted of three components: • Performance of Homogenous processor • Task mapping on processors • Execution sequence for task on every processor.

II. DAG (DIRECTED ACYCLIC GRAPH)
DAG is also termed as TG (Task-Graph) and be considered as general model for parallel program composed of vertices and edges set. DAG is consisted of four tuples, G= {V,E,W,D} in which every vertex, that is V={T1,T2,…, Tn} is taken as graph's task. E as directed edges seteij depicting the two tasksdependency, Ti plusTj. Every graph edge is connected by weight D, known as communication time/ communication cost [3]. T 3 [4] T 6 [3] T 5 [2] T 2 [3] T 4 [4]  The representation of comm. of unication time is D (Ti, Tj). The mapping of task set on set P= (P1, P2,.. Pp) for p processors and every taskcan beimplemented on processor termed as computation time W and is termed as W (Ti) [4].
Communication time among two tasks is considered as zero on similar processor. Now, the precedence constraint constantly holds Tj that cannot be implemented till Ti that finishes when i<j. If the link among Ti and Tj is direct than Tj is considered as the Tisuccessor which is the Tjpredecessor. DAG Illustration has six nodes as illustrated in above figure 1 [5].
An entry task is the task in which there are no predecessors and the exit task is the task in which there are no successors. T1 is known as the entry task and T6 is the exit task.
Communication cost C(Ti, Tj)and computation time for specified DAG is defined below [6]: Table I

III. LIST TASK SCHEDULING ALGORITHMS CLASSIFICATION
The classification of task scheduling is in two categories: i. Deterministic task scheduling ii.
Non-deterministic task scheduling Deterministic task scheduling is termed as "Static scheduling/compile time scheduling algorithm". The tasksinformation, like, task computation time and communication time with the tasks precedence constraintsare considered in this type [8].
Non-deterministic tasks are also termed as Run-time scheduling/ dynamic scheduling. For this, the task information is depicted only at the execution time [9].
Below figure is illustrating the classification of list task scheduling algorithms which came under heuristic dependent algorithms. The task scheduling algorithms are categorized in deterministic and non-deterministic algorithms. The deterministic algorithm is divided in to heuristic with guided random search dependent algorithms.
The heuristic dependent algorithm provides enhanced solution and satisfactoryperformance with the polynomial time complexity as compared to 'exponential time complexity'. It is further divided as: List task scheduling, clustering plus task duplication based algorithms [10].
'List task scheduling algorithms' is known as scheduling algorithms in which the assigning of tasks in done by DAG provided to processors. It is easy and provides less complexity as contrast to another algorithm. The clustering algorithm lessens the communication time among DAG tasks. It is an effective algorithm. It executes in two phases: i. Task clustering ii.
Post clustering Task duplication based algorithm provides better effectives and less scheduling length because of the reduction of communication time with the tasks. It assists for lessening the initialization time for the tasks that are waiting. These algorithms have an aim for processors usage in accurate time [11]. It is simple and known as the first algorithm of 'list task scheduling algorithm'. Task priority is chosen by the attributes of static levels. Consideration of communication is not taken place. ISH (Insertion scheduling heuristic) algorithm It is effective as it uses the appropriate time being developed by incomplete schedule on processors.
The priority of task has been done with static b-level attribute. Provision of enhanced results in contract of HLFET algorithm is considered in this.

MCP (Modified Critical path) algorithm
It finds task priority by utilizing ALAP (As late as possible) attribute. It gives more priority to tasks that takes less start time. The main con is that it doesn't have communication time for task priority.

ETF (Earliest time first) algorithm
It finds the earliest start time for each task and later chooses the task having less initial time.
Main limitation is that it reduces the scheduling length on each level DLS (Dynamic level scheduling) algorithm It finds the task priority on the tasks priority on dynamic basis. It is same as ETF algorithm but DLS utilizes DL attribute while ETF utilizes static level attribute.
It doesn't sustain scheduling list on scheduling procedure. CNPT (Critical node parent tree) algorithm It achieves more accuracy and reduces complexity. The prioritization of task is determined with CN (Critical node) attribute.
It has two stages; Listing plus Processor assigning phase. It has better performance as contrast to DLS, MCP plus ETF algorithms.
Below tables shows the time complexity of taskscheduling algorithms and priority attributes of task scheduling algorithms [12]. The algorithms considered are HLFET, ISH, MCP, ETF, DLS plus CNPT.

IV. COMPARATIVE METRICS
The analysis of performance could be executed in list task scheduling algorithms on the basis of comparison metrics, SLR (Scheduling length ratio), Speed up, Efficiency and Load balancing [13][14]. = Speed up It is the proportion among 'sequential execution time' with 'parallel execution time' in which the sequential time execution time as the amount of total computation time for every task with'parallel time execution time' which is the SL on less amount of processors.
As shown, ∑ = is the amount of computational task time in chronological order as 1,2,3,…n and is schedule length and total parallel execution time of DAG Efficiency It is the measurement of processor utilization. Mathematically, it can be described as: = As shown, is the speed up and is the number of processors Load balancing It can be described with the proportion of scheduling length to average execution time on each processor.
