Description
I realized that the definition of makespan chosen for batsim outputs is max(finish_time) (https://batsim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/output-schedule.html?highlight=makespan#schedule ).
I think the most common definition is max(finish_time) - min(submission_time).
These definitions are the same if our time origin is 0 (first job submitted at t=0), but there is an offset otherwise.
Solutions proposed:
- at least put a warning in the doc that this definition can be different from the commonly used
- change the way makespan is calculated.
Personally, I don't see when the current definition can be better than the common one.
