Abstract

This study compares Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and randomized-restart list scheduling for DAG workflows under a controlled budget, revealing that MCTS performs worse than simpler methods.

Reality Card

Core Claim

MCTS is 2.88% worse than randomized-restart list scheduling under equal budget conditions, indicating that simpler methods can outperform MCTS in certain scenarios.

Method / Result

At a budget of 2048 evaluated schedules, MCTS is 2.88% worse than the randomized-restart method.

Limitations

Results are confined to a controlled synthetic domain with limited task and processor configurations, raising concerns about generalizability.
