Abstract
The problem of scheduling n independent jobs on an m -dimensional hypercube system to minimize the finish time is discussed. After some preliminary definitions are given, it is shown that a simple nonpreemptive algorithm, called largest dimension first, can have an asymptotic optimal performance and an absolute bound no worse than 2-1/2m. An absolute lower bound for the schedules generated by any algorithm using decreasing dimension lists is proved. A preemptive scheduling algorithm is also given
