Abstract: In this note we consider the problem of scheduling a set of jobs on m identical parallel machines. For each job, a setup has to be doen by a single server. The objective is to minimize the sum of the completion times. For this strongly NP-hard problem, we give an approximation algortihm with an absolute error bounded by the product of the number of short jobs (with processing times less than m - 1) and m - 2.

Keywords: scheduling, parallel amchines, single server, unit setup times, total completion time, approximation algorithm
