The input cost-concious factor of this method is the cloud cost and used as a weight to calculate the earliest finish time EFT of each task.

The earliest finish time estimated by organisers is around 3.05pm, although somewhere between 3.30pm and 4pm is more likely.
Cycle race set to thrill names speed their way; Some of the world's best cyclists, including Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish, will ride through Wales this week as the Tour of Britain passes through for two successive stages. Whether you're planning to watch on the road, or just keep an eye on the action from your sofa, here's everything you need to know
The heterogeneous earliest finish time (HEFT) [5] uses a recursive procedure to compute the rank of a task by traversing the graph upwards from the exit task and vice-versa for critical path on a processor (CPOP) [5].
Before proceeding to the next section, it is necessary to discuss some scheduling attributes such as rank upward, rank downward, earliest start time, earliest finish time, and optimistic cost table, which will be used in the proposed scheduling algorithm.
