Job scheduling is a type of combinatorial optimization problem. In this paper, we propose a Hybrid algorithm which combines the merits of ACO and Cuckoo Search. The major problem in the ACO is that, the ant will walk through the path where the chemical substances called pheromone is deposited. This acts as if it lures the artificial ants. Cuckoo search can perform the local search more efficiently and there is only a single parameter apart from the population size. It minimizes the makespan and the scheduling can be used in scientific computing and high power computing.
