Online Scheduling Revisited

چکیده
We present a new online algorithm, MR, for non-preemptive scheduling of jobs with known processing times on m identical machines which beats the best previous algorithm for m 64. For m ! 1 its competitive ratio approaches 1 + p 1+ln 2 2 < 1:9201.

Online Scheduling of Jobs for D-benevolent instances On Identical Machines
We consider online scheduling of jobs with specic release time on m identical machines. Each job has a weight and a size; the goal is maximizing total weight of completed jobs. At release time of a job it must immediately be scheduled on a machine or it will be rejected. It is also allowed during execution of a job to preempt it; however, it will be lost and only weight of completed jobs contri...
متن کاملStochastic Online Scheduling Revisited
We consider the problem of minimizing the total weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs have stochastic processing times and may arrive over time. We give randomized as well as deterministic online and off-line algorithms that have the best known performance guarantees in either setting, deterministic and offline or randomized and online. Our analysis is based on a nov...
متن کاملOn-line scheduling to minimize average completion time revisited
We consider the scheduling problem of minimizing the average-weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs are arriving over time. For both the preemptive and the nonpreemptive setting, we show that straightforward extensions of Smith’s ratio rule yield smaller competitive ratios than the previously best-known deterministic on-line algorithms. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملSemi-online scheduling revisited
Makespan minimization onm identical machines is a fundamental scheduling problem. The goal is to assign a sequence of jobs, each specified by a processing time, to parallel machines so as to minimize the maximum completion time of any job. Deterministic online algorithms achieve a competitive ratio of about 1.92. Due to this relatively high competitiveness and the lack of progress in the area o...
متن کاملScheduling to Minimize Average Completion Time Revisited: Deterministic On-Line Algorithms
We consider the scheduling problem of minimizing the average weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs are arriving over time. For both the preemptive and the nonpreemptive setting, we show that straightforward extensions of Smith’s ratio rule yield smaller competitive ratios compared to the previously best-known deterministic on-line algorithms, which are (4+ ε)-competi...
