Jackson Algorithm with Python

Python's Implementation of a flow shop scheduling algorithm (JACKSON) (N tasks on M machines): CDS heuristic.

Earliest Due Date (EDD)

EDD is algorithm proposed by Jackson in 1955 :

• Jackson proposed a EDD (Earliest Due Date) algorithm in 1995 that minimizes the maximum lateness of above given task model. EDD says that, given a set of n independent tasks, any algorithm that executes the tasks in order of nondecreasing deadlines is optimal respect to minimizing the maximum lateness.

• The definition of maximum lateness is the maximum value among n task’s finish time minus its deadline.

• If a task set consists of n tasks, the schedulability condition can be perfomed by verifying the following n conditions.

How does work:

Just download the code (open terminal or cmd and paste this line: git clone https://github.com/th-rpy/Algo_Cds_Ordanncement.git ). Then run python AlgoEDD.py. Once the code has run successfully, you will have a folder called /output and 3 subfolders in the output folder: ImagesOutput , TxtsOutput and PdfsOutput. In these folders you will find the results of the algorithm in Image, Text and PDF formats. You will also find in PdfsOutput a file called Algo_Cds_Output.pdf which describes Jackson's Algorithm, the code inputs/outputs and the different steps of the algorithm.

• Input:
  • File (.txt) contains N linges (number of tasks). Each ligne must have M integer separate by , (number of machines).
  • Enter the inputs with the console (cmd or terminal) and code will save its in text file.
