Abstract

We consider the problem of on-line scheduling of jobs arriving one by one on uniformly related machines, with or without preemption. We prove a lower bound of 2, both with and without preemption, for randomized algorithms working for an arbitrary number of machines. For a constant number of machines we give new lower bounds for the preemptive case.
