We study the problem of preemptive scheduling n jobs with given release times on m identical parallel machines. The objective is to minimize the average flow time. We show that wh...

In [2] it was shown that the obvious semi-clairvoyant generalization of the Shortest Processing Time is O(1)-competitive with respect to average stretch on a single machine. In [2...

With the rapid development of broadband applications, the capability of networks to provide quality of service (QoS) has become an important issue. Fair scheduling algorithms are ...
We discuss the parallelization of algorithms for solving polynomial systems symbolically by way of triangular decompositions. We introduce a component-level parallelism for which ...
Fairness is an essential requirement of any operating system scheduler. Unfortunately, existing fair scheduling algorithms are either inaccurate or inefficient and non-scalable fo...
