Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) for Task Scheduling Problem in Multi-processors Environment

Use of multiprocessors applications to solve complex problems in computer's system contributes to the increase in performance and speed of today's computer. In multiprocessors environment, it is very important to have a great strategy or method on scheduling the processors that are utilized to handle a specific task in the computer system. As each scheduling problem involves problem-specific variables, multiprocessors need different and appropriate algorithm for their problems. This study introduces the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) for task scheduling. Comparisons with other existing methods were also conducted to highlight the efficiency of the proposed WOA in performing task scheduling.
