Abstract

Large-language-model multi-agent systems can decompose complex work, but adding agents does not guarantee shorter completion time: precedence constraints, uneven task sizes, and cross-agent handoffs can erase the benefit of parallelism. This study evaluates six deterministic scheduling policies on the released MultiAgentBench/MARBLE coding corpus. All 100 tasks were converted into requirement-level directed acyclic graphs using temporal, integration, testing, adaptive-feedback, and final-stage dependency evidence in the task specifications. The resulting corpus contains 621 requirement nodes, 780 edges, 40 application topics, and four coordination categories. Word counts serve as normalized work units; consequently, the study measures scheduling behavior rather than live model latency or software correctness. We executed 1,800 schedules spanning FIFO, Round-Robin, static-role, critical-path, uncertainty-weighted critical-path, and a critical-path policy with uncertainty and communication control (CP-UC), each at 2, 4, and 8 concurrent workers. Critical-path scheduling produced modest mean improvements over FIFO of 0.80%, 0.96%, and 0.51%, respectively. CP-UC reduced mean communication work by 7.27%-9.27% and propagation exposure by 1.66%-2.26% relative to FIFO, but increased mean makespan by 2.10%-3.39% on the paired percentage measure. Category analysis locates this cost mainly in test-case and dependency-heavy tasks. The results show that critical-path priority is a useful low-risk default, whereas communication control should be treated as an explicit latency-coordination trade-off rather than a universally faster scheduler.
