Abstract
This paper investigates semi-online scheduling problem with known total size on two uniform machines for maximizing the minimum machine completion time. Lower bounds and optimal algorithms for every s≥1 are given, where s is the speed ratio of two machines. Both the overall competitive ratio and the competitive ratio for are strictly smaller than those of the optimal algorithms of the corresponding semi-online scheduling problem with known optimal value. It indicates that two related semi-online problems are different.
