Scheduling of coupled tasks with unit processing times
2010
The coupled tasks scheduling problem was originally introduced for modeling complex radar devices. It is still used for controlling such devices and applied in similar applications. This paper considers a problem of coupled tasks scheduling on a single processor, under the assumptions that all processing times are equal to 1, the gap has exact integer length L and the precedence constraints are strict. We prove that the general problem, when L is part of the input and the precedence constraints graph is a general graph, is NP-hard in the strong sense. We also show that the special case when L=2 and the precedence constraints graph is an in-tree or an out-tree, can be solved in O(n) time.
