Summary: The author develops an algorithm assigning \(\lfloor n/2\rfloor\) tasks to one processor and \(\lceil n/2\rceil\) to another. The absolute difference between the optimal makespan and the heuristic makespan is proved to be bounded by \(O(\log n/n^ 2)\), almost surely, when task durations are independently and uniformly distributed on \([0,1]\). Total flow time is minimized if the tasks on each processor are sequenced in nondecreasing order of their processing times.
