In this paper we study the optimality of theTLSalgorithm for solving the online scheduling problem of minimizing the makespan on a set ofmmultipurpose machines, where there are two different job types and each job type can only be processed on a unique subset of machines. The literature shows that theTLSalgorithm is optimal for the special cases where eitherm=2 or where all processing times are restricted to unity. We show that theTLSalgorithm is optimal also for the special cases where the job processing times are either job type or machine set dependent. For both cases, the optimality of theTLSalgorithm is proven by showing that its competitive ratio matches the lower bound foranyprocessing set and processing time parameters.
