In this paper, we assess the impact of heterogeneity on scheduling independent tasks on master-slave platforms. We assume a realistic one-port model where the master can communica...
Energy-efficiency has been an important system issue in hardware and software designs to extend operation duration or cut power bills. This research explores systems with probabil...
The past few years have witnessed a number of interesting online algorithms for deadline scheduling in the dynamic speed scaling model (in which a processor can vary its speed to ...
We study the online version of the classical parallel machine scheduling problem to minimize the total weighted completion time from a new perspective: We assume that the data of ...
Due to its optimality on a single machine for the problem of minimizing average flow time, ShortestRemaining-Processing-Time (SRPT) appears to be the most natural algorithm to con...
