Convex programming for scheduling unrelated parallel machines
We consider the classical problem of scheduling parallel unrelated machines. Each job is to be processed by exactly one machine. Processing job j on machine i requires time pij . ...

The Power of Preemption on Unrelated Machines and Applications to Scheduling Orders
Abstract. Scheduling jobs on unrelated parallel machines so as to minimize the makespan is one of the basic, well-studied problems in the area of machine scheduling. In the first ...

Energy Efficient Scheduling via Partial Shutdown
Motivated by issues of saving energy in data centers we define a collection of new problems referred to as "machine activation" problems. The central framework we introd...

Optimal solutions for unrelated parallel machines scheduling problems using convex quadratic reformulations
We consider the unrelated parallel machines scheduling problem where jobs have earliness and tardiness penalties and a common due date. We formulate this problem and some of its v...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...
