We consider the coflow scheduling problem in the non-clairvoyant setting, assuming that flow sizes are realized on-line according to given probability distributions. The goal is to minimize the weighted average completion time of coflows in…
The scheduling literature has traditionally focused on a single type of resource (e.g., computing nodes). However, scientific applications in modern High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems process large amounts of data, hence have diverse…

We provide an algorithm giving a $\frac{140}{41}$($<3.415$)-approximation for Coflow Scheduling and a $4.36$-approximation for Coflow Scheduling with release dates. This improves upon the best known $4$- and respectively $5$-approximations…

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…
