N2 - In many industrial and computing applications, proper scheduling of tasks can determine the overall efficiency of the system. The algorithm, presented in this paper, tackles the scheduling problem in a multi-layer multiprocessor environment, which exists in many computing and industrial applications. Based on the scheduling terminology, the problem can be defined as multiprocessor task scheduling in hybrid flow-shops. This paper presents a particle swarm optimization algorithm for the solution and reports its performance. The results are compared with other well known meta-heuristic techniques proposed for the solution of the same problem. Our results show that particle swarm optimization has merits in solving multiprocessor task scheduling in a hybrid flow-shop environment.
