We analyze the competitive ratio of algorithms for minimizing (weighted) average completion time on identical parallel machines and prove that the well-known shortest remaining processing time algorithm (SRPT) is 5/4-competitive w.r.t. the average completion time objective. For weighted completion times we give a deterministic algorithm with competitive ratio 1.791 + o(m). This ratio holds for preemptive and non-preemptive scheduling. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
