A method for ordering a plurality of operations that are dependent upon one another in an ordered list to be used for scheduling is provided. The method comprises identifying a current operation in the plurality of operations that is not in the ordered list. Also, it is determined if the current operation has any predecessor operations that are not in the ordered list. If the current operation has predecessor operations, predecessor operations are added to the ordered list. The current operation is then added to the ordered list and a successor operation to the current operation is identified. The successor operation is now considered the current operation and the process reiterates to determine if the current operation has any predecessor operations and continues as above. The process continues until a current operation does not have any successor operations. |
