In this paper, we prove that under mild stochastic assumptions, work-conserving disciplines are asymptotic optimal for minimizing total completion time. As a byproduct of our analysis, we obtain tight upper bound on the competitive ratios of work-conserving disciplines on minimizing the metric of flow time.
