Greed Works - Online Algorithms For Unrelated Machine Stochastic Scheduling
We derive the first performance guarantees for a combinatorial online algorithm that schedules stochastic, nonpreemptive jobs on unrelated machines to minimize the expectation of the total weighted completion time. Prior work on unrelated machine scheduling with stochastic jobs was restricted to the offline case, and required sophisticated linear or convex programming relaxations for the assign...
متن کاملUnrelated Machine Scheduling with Stochastic Processing Times
Two important characteristics encountered in many real-world scheduling problems are heterogeneous processors and a certain degree of uncertainty about the sizes of jobs. In this paper we address both, and study for the first time a scheduling problem that combines the classical unrelated machine scheduling model with stochastic processing times of jobs. By means of a novel time-indexed linear ...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Stochastic Scheduling on Unrelated Machines
Motivated by problems in distributed computing, this thesis presents the first nontrivial polynomial time approximation algorithms for an important class of machine scheduling problems. We study the family of preemptive minimum makespan scheduling problems where jobs have stochastic processing requirements and provide the first approximation algorithms for these problems when machines have unre...

متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Stochastic Machine Scheduling with Precedence Constraints
We consider parallel, identical machine scheduling problems where the jobs are subject to precedence constraints, release dates, and the processing times of jobs are governed by independent probability distributions. The objective is to minimize the expected value of the total weighted completion time ∑w j C j , where w j 0. Building upon a linear programming relaxation by Möhring, Schulz, and ...
