We consider the online (over time) scheduling of equal length jobs on a bounded parallel batch machine with a capacity b to minimize makespan with restart or limited restart. Let α≈ 0.29, β≈ 0.47, γ≈ 0.38, and φ≈ 0.40 be four parameters defined in the text. When b= 2, we present a best possible online algorithm H L (b= 2) with a competitive ratio of 1+ α under the assumption of restart or limited restart. Under the assumption of limited restart with b≥ 3, we present a best possible online algorithm H L (b≥ 3) with a competitive ratio of 1+ β. Under the assumption of restart, when b= 3, we present a best possible online algorithm H (b= 3) with a competitive ratio of 1+ γ, and when b≥ 4, we present a best possible online algorithm H (b≥ 4) with a competitive ratio of 1+ φ. In our online algorithms under the assumption of restart, each job is interrupted at most two times. Consequently, our results cover the setting of k-limited restart for all k≥ 1.
