Design and analysis of constant competitive deterministic semi-online algorithms for the multi-processor scheduling problem with small number of identical machines have gained significant research interest in the last two decades. In the…
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…
We consider a parallel system of $m$ identical machines prone to unpredictable crashes and restarts, trying to cope with the continuous arrival of tasks to be executed. Tasks have different computational requirements (i.e., processing time…
Deep learning has been effectively applied to many discrete optimization problems. However, learning-based scheduling on unrelated parallel machines remains particularly difficult to design. Not only do the numbers of jobs and machines…
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…
We consider a basic problem of preemptive scheduling of $n$ non-simultaneously released jobs on a group of $m$ unrelated parallel machines so as to minimize maximum job completion time, the makespan. In the scheduling literature, the…
Makespan minimization on identical parallel machines is a classical scheduling problem. We consider the online scenario where a sequence of $n$ jobs has to be scheduled non-preemptively on $m$ machines so as to minimize the maximum…
This work introduces a natural variant of the online machine scheduling problem on unrelated machines, which we refer to as the favorite machine model. In this model, each job has a minimum processing time on a certain set of machines,…
We investigate the scheduling of $n$ jobs divided into $c$ classes on $m$ identical parallel machines. For every class there is a setup time which is required whenever a machine switches from the processing of one class to another class.…
We consider the problem of scheduling $n$ precedence-constrained jobs on $m$ uniformly-related machines in the presence of an arbitrary, fixed communication delay $\rho$. We consider a model that allows job duplication, i.e. processing of…
We propose new sequential sorting operations by adapting techniques and methods used for designing parallel sorting algorithms. Although the norm is to parallelize a sequential algorithm to improve performance, we adapt a contrarian…
We study the restricted case of Scheduling on Unrelated Parallel Machines. In this problem, we are given a set of jobs $J$ with processing times $p_j$ and each job may be scheduled only on some subset of machines $S_j \subseteq M$. The goal…
We address the problem of scheduling jobs with non-identical sizes and distinct processing times on a single batch processing machine, aiming at minimizing the makespan. The extensive literature on this NP-hard problem mostly focuses on…
We consider energy-efficient scheduling on multiprocessors, where the speed of each processor can be individually scaled, and a processor consumes power $s^{\alpha}$ when running at speed $s$, for $\alpha>1$. A scheduling algorithm needs to…
In this paper we consider the problem of scheduling on parallel machines with a presence of incompatibilities between jobs. The incompatibility relation can be modeled as a complete multipartite graph in which each edge denotes a pair of…
In the paper we consider the problem of scheduling $n$ identical jobs on 4 uniform machines with speeds $s_1 \geq s_2 \geq s_3 \geq s_4,$ respectively. Our aim is to find a schedule with a minimum possible length. We assume that jobs are…
Malleable scheduling is a model that captures the possibility of parallelization to expedite the completion of time-critical tasks. A malleable job can be allocated and processed simultaneously on multiple machines, occupying the same time…
In this paper the problem of scheduling of jobs on parallel machines under incompatibility relation is considered. In this model a binary relation between jobs is given and no two jobs that are in the relation can be scheduled on the same…
We consider several combinatorial optimization problems which combine the classic shop scheduling problems, namely open shop scheduling or job shop scheduling, and the shortest path problem. The objective of the obtained problem is to…
In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling jobs on parallel identical machines, where the processing times of jobs are uncertain: only interval bounds of processing times are known. The optimality criterion of a schedule is the…
