TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Kaufman, Marc T. DATE:: June 1972 PAGES:: 4 ABSTRACT:: In a recent paper [1], Fujii, Kasami and Ninomiya presented a procedure for the optimal scheduling of a system of unit length tasks represented as a directed acyclic graph on two identical processors. The authors conjecture that the algorithm can be extended to the case where more than two processors are employed. This note presents a counterexample to that conjecture. [1] Fujii, M., T.
