This paper studies the scheduling of jobs of different families on parallel machines with qualification constraints. Originating from semiconductor manufacturing, this constraint imposes a time threshold between the execution of two jobs of…
In this paper, we study the following batch scheduling model: find a schedule that minimizes total flow time for $n$ uniform length jobs, with release times and deadlines, where the machine is only actively processing jobs in at most $k$…
The discrete parallel machine makespan scheduling location (ScheLoc) problem is an integrated combinatorial optimization problem that combines facility location and job scheduling. The problem consists in choosing the locations of $p$…
In parallel machine scheduling, we are given a set of jobs, together with a number of machines and our goal is to decide for each job, when and on which machine(s) it should be scheduled in order to minimize some objective function.…
In the realm of computer systems, efficient utilisation of the CPU (Central Processing Unit) has always been a paramount concern. Researchers and engineers have long sought ways to optimise process execution on the CPU, leading to the…
A moldable job is a job that can be executed on an arbitrary number of processors, and whose processing time depends on the number of processors allotted to it. A moldable job is monotone if its work doesn't decrease for an increasing…
Generalizing many well-known and natural scheduling problems, scheduling with job-specific cost functions has gained a lot of attention recently. In this setting, each job incurs a cost depending on its completion time, given by a private…
We study shared processor scheduling of $\textit{multiprocessor}$ weighted jobs where each job can be executed on its private processor and simultaneously on possibly $\textit{many}$ processors shared by all jobs in order to reduce their…
In this paper we study the partitioning approach for multiprocessor real-time scheduling. This approach seems to be the easiest since, once the partitioning of the task set has been done, the problem reduces to well understood uniprocessor…
In this paper, we consider four single-machine scheduling problems with release times, with the aim of minimizing the maximum lateness. In the first problem we have a common deadline for all the jobs. The second problem looks for the Pareto…
We consider the following shared-resource scheduling problem: Given a set of jobs $J$, for each $j\in J$ we must schedule a job-specific processing volume of $v_j>0$. A total resource of $1$ is available at any time. Jobs have a resource…
The Makespan Scheduling problem is an extensively studied NP-hard problem, and its simplest version looks for an allocation approach for a set of jobs with deterministic processing times to two identical machines such that the makespan is…
This paper introduces the \emph{serial-parallel decision problem}. Consider an online scheduler that receives a series of tasks, where each task has both a parallel and a serial implementation. The parallel implementation has the advantage…
The NP-hard scheduling problem P||C_max encompasses a set of tasks with known execution time which must be mapped to a set of identical machines such that the overall completion time is minimized. In this work, we improve existing…
In Real-time system, utilization based schedulability test is a common approach to determine whether or not tasks can be admitted without violating deadline requirements. The exact problem has previously been proven intractable even upon…
When parallelizing a set of jobs across many servers, one must balance a trade-off between granting priority to short jobs and maintaining the overall efficiency of the system. When the goal is to minimize the mean flow time of a set of…
In the Scheduling Machines with Capacity Constraints problem, we are given k identical machines, each of which can process at most m_i jobs. M jobs are also given, where job j has a non-negative processing time length t_j >= 0. The task is…
We consider a natural extension of online makespan scheduling on identical parallel machines by introducing scenarios. A scenario is a subset of jobs, and the task of our problem is to find a global assignment of the jobs to machines so…
Federated scheduling is a promising approach to schedule parallel real-time tasks on multi-cores, where each heavy task exclusively executes on a number of dedicated processors, while light tasks are treated as sequential sporadic tasks and…
In the paper we consider the problem of scheduling $n$ identical jobs on 3 uniform machines with speeds $s_1, s_2,$ and $s_3$ to minimize the schedule length. We assume that jobs are subjected to some kind of mutual exclusion constraints,…
