Abstract. Minimizing the makespan or maximizing the minimum machine load are two of the most important and fundamental parallel machine scheduling problems. In an online scenario, ...
In past massively parallel processing systems, such as the TMC CM-5 and the CRI T3E, the scheduling problem consisted of allocating a single type of resource among the waiting job...
In this paper, we formulate the problem of topology constrained rectilinear block packing in layout reuse. A speci c class of rectilinear shaped blocks, ordered convex rectilinear...
We analyze the problem of packing squares in an online fashion: Given an semi-infinite strip of width 1 and an unknown sequence of squares with side lengths in [0, 1] that arrive...
We provide improved approximation algorithms for several rectangle tiling and packing problems (RTILE, DRTILE and d-RPACK) studied in the literature. Our algorithms are highly eff...
