Optimal parallel algorithms for two processor scheduling with tree precedence constraints:

Abstract: "Consider the problem of finding a minimum length schedule for n unit execution time tasks on m processors with tree-like precedence constraints. A sequential algorithm can solve this problem in linear time. The fastest known parallel algorithm needs O(log n) time using n² processors....

Summary:Abstract: "Consider the problem of finding a minimum length schedule for n unit execution time tasks on m processors with tree-like precedence constraints. A sequential algorithm can solve this problem in linear time. The fastest known parallel algorithm needs O(log n) time using n² processors. For the case m=2 we present two work optimal parallel algorithms that produce greedy optimal schedules for intrees and outtrees. Both run in O(log n) time using n/log n processors of an EREW PRAM."
