  a better approach for computing the schedule should be:

  • choose a better granularity (half days, quarter of days) according to either the durations in the tasks descriptions or an option from the command line
  • double or quadruple all the durations passed to the scheduler

  the scheduler only deals with pseudo dates indexed from 0. It is assumed to be days but it actually doesn't care whether it is days or hours or anything else.

  So dealing with half days should be simple :

  • double the durations,
  • compute non-working days accordingly
  • do the inverse transformation when getting the results

  The only drawbacks is the increase complexity in the search space but this can be further improved (later) by adding options to the scheduler to keep days in chunks of 2 or 4.
