Preemptive scheduling of two uniform parallel machines to minimize total tardiness

Abstract

We consider the problem of preemptive scheduling n jobs on two uniform parallel machines. All jobs have equal processing requirements. For each job we are given its due date. The objective is to find a schedule minimizing total tardiness ∑Ti. We suggest an O(nlogn) algorithm to solve this problem.
