A conjecture about provably good task assignment on heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms but with a stronger adversary

Bibliographic Details
Summary:Consider the problem of scheduling a set of implicit-deadline sporadic tasks to meet all deadlines on a heterogeneous multiprocessor platform. We use an algorithm proposed in [1] (we refer to it as LP-EE) from state-of-the-art for assigning tasks to heterogeneous multiprocessor platform and (re-)prove its performance guarantee but for a stronger adversary.We conjecture that if a task set can be scheduled to meet deadlines on a heterogeneous multiprocessor platform by an optimal task assignment scheme that allows task migrations then LP-EE meets deadlines as well with no migrations if given processors twice as fast. We illustrate this with an example.
