= Heterogeneous earliest finish time
{wiki=Heterogeneous_earliest_finish_time}
Heterogeneous Earliest Finish Time (HEFT) is a scheduling algorithm used primarily in the context of parallel computing and task scheduling. It is particularly useful for scheduling tasks on heterogeneous computing environments, where different processors or computing units have varying capabilities and performance characteristics. \#\#\# Key Points about Heterogeneous Earliest Finish Time (HEFT): 1. **Heterogeneity**: In a heterogeneous environment, different processors may have different processing speeds and performance levels.
