Project Overview

Process Scheduler takes in a graph file in DOT format (.dot) and outputs an optimal schedule in another DOT file based on how many processors the user wants the tasks to be scheduled on.

Run Instructions

1. Download the scheduler-final-T12.jar file
2. Navigate to the directory containing the jar file and run it using:
   java -jar scheduler-final-T12.jar INPUT.dot P [OPTIONAL]
   Where INPUT.dot is the graph input file, P is the number of processors to calculate the optimal schedule on, and [OPTIONAL] is any optional arguments.
   These optional arguments are:

• -p N Where N is the number of cores to use use for parallel execution (default is 1)
• -v Enables a GUI visualisation of the schedule search with graphs and statistics
• -o OUTPUT The output DOT file will be named OUTPUT.dot (default is INPUT-output.dot)
