How to solve the problem of optimal distribution of tasks over time among a certain number of performers?

Question

Algorithms

There are a number of devices (the input parameter may be different). There are also a number of experiments, each of which has its own execution time (also a set of input parameters). The essence of the problem is to distribute these experiments among the devices so that the total time for performing all the experiments is minimal.
If someone has come across a similar one, leave the literature on the topic, as well as links to similar tasks with a solution.

Answer 1

In general, the task is called "Optimal resource allocation".
It is usually studied within the framework of the courses "Methods of Mathematical Optimization", "Operations Research", "Linear and Dynamic Programming", etc.
There are a lot of textbooks - starting with the classics:
