We study the problem of scheduling a set of jobs with release dates, deadlines and processing requirements (or works), on parallel speed-scaled processors so as to minimize the total energy consumption. We consider that both preemption and…
In this paper, we study the optimal convergence rate for distributed convex optimization problems in networks. We model the communication restrictions imposed by the network as a set of affine constraints and provide optimal complexity…
We consider a class of popular distributed non-convex optimization problems, in which agents connected by a network $\mathcal{G}$ collectively optimize a sum of smooth (possibly non-convex) local objective functions. We address the…
In this paper, we study an NP-hard problem of a single machine scheduling minimizing the makespan, where the mixed-critical tasks with an uncertain processing time are scheduled. We show the derivation of F-shaped tasks from the probability…
Budget Minimization is a scheduling problem with precedence constraints, i.e., a scheduling problem on a partially ordered set of jobs $(N, \unlhd)$. A job $j \in N$ is available for scheduling, if all jobs $i \in N$ with $i \unlhd j$ are…
In this paper, we study the communication complexity for the problem of computing a conjunctive query on a large database in a parallel setting with $p$ servers. In contrast to previous work, where upper and lower bounds on the…
The efficient parallel execution of complex computations requires balancing the workload across processors while minimizing the communication between them. This inherent trade-off is often captured by graph partitioning or DAG scheduling…
We study the problem of efficiently scheduling a computational DAG on multiple processors. The majority of previous works have developed and compared algorithms for this problem in relatively simple models; in contrast to this, we analyze…
We study shared multi-processor scheduling problem where each job can be executed on its private processor and simultaneously on one of many processors shared by all jobs in order to reduce the job's completion time due to processing time…
The paper considers scheduling on parallel machines under the constraint that some pairs of jobs cannot be processed concurrently. Each job has an associated weight, and all jobs have the same deadline. The objective is to maximise the…
We study the maximum $k$-set coverage problem in the following distributed setting. A collection of sets $S_1,\ldots,S_m$ over a universe $[n]$ is partitioned across $p$ machines and the goal is to find $k$ sets whose union covers the most…
A number of computations exist, especially in area of error-control coding and matrix computations, whose underlying data flow graphs are based on finite projective-geometry(PG) based balanced bipartite graphs. Many of these applications…
We consider the NP-hard problem of minimizing a convex quadratic function over the integer lattice ${\bf Z}^n$. We present a simple semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation for obtaining a nontrivial lower bound on the optimal value of the…
We study the Parallel Task Scheduling problem $Pm|size_j|C_{\max}$ with a constant number of machines. This problem is known to be strongly NP-complete for each $m \geq 5$, while it is solvable in pseudo-polynomial time for each $m \leq 3$.…
In this paper we improve the approximation ratio for the problem of scheduling packets on line networks with bounded buffers, where the aim is that of maximizing the throughput. Each node in the network has a local buffer of bounded size…
Semidefinite programming (SDP) is widely acknowledged as one of the most effective methods for deriving the tightest lower bounds of the optimal power flow (OPF) problems. In this paper, an enhanced semidefinite relaxation model that…
Emerging reconfigurable optical communication technologies allow to enhance datacenter topologies with demand-aware links optimized towards traffic patterns. This paper studies the algorithmic problem of jointly optimizing topology and…
We study an interval ordering problem introduced by D\"urr et al. [Discrete Appl. Math. 2012] which is motivated by applications in bioinformatics. The task is to order a given set of n intervals with the goal of minimizing a certain…
We study the approximability of the NP-complete \textsc{Maximum Minimal Feedback Vertex Set} problem. Informally, this natural problem seems to lie in an intermediate space between two more well-studied problems of this type:…
We consider fundamental scheduling problems motivated by energy issues. In this framework, we are given a set of jobs, each with a release time, deadline and required processing length. The jobs need to be scheduled on a machine so that at…
