In packet-switched computer networks and other statistical multiplexing, the notion of a scheduling algorithm is used as an alternative to first-come first-served queuing of data packets. The simplest best-effort scheduling algorithms are round-robin, fair queuing (a max-min fair scheduling algorithm), proportional-fair scheduling and maximum ...
Optimal job scheduling is a class of optimization problems related to scheduling. The inputs to such problems are a list of jobs (also called processes or tasks) and a list of machines (also called processors or workers). The required output is a schedule – an assignment of jobs to machines. The schedule should optimize a certain objective ...
Interval scheduling is a class of problems in computer science, particularly in the area of algorithm design. The problems consider a set of tasks. The problems consider a set of tasks. Each task is represented by an interval describing the time in which it needs to be processed by some machine (or, equivalently, scheduled on some resource).
The basic form of the problem of scheduling jobs with multiple (M) operations, over M machines, such that all of the first operations must be done on the first machine, all of the second operations on the second, etc., and a single job cannot be performed in parallel, is known as the flow-shop scheduling problem. Various algorithms exist ...
In computer science, resource starvation is a problem encountered in concurrent computing where a process is perpetually denied necessary resources to process its work. [1] Starvation may be caused by errors in a scheduling or mutual exclusion algorithm, but can also be caused by resource leaks , and can be intentionally caused via a denial-of ...
Identical-machines scheduling is an optimization problem in computer science and operations research. We are given n jobs J 1 , J 2 , ..., J n of varying processing times, which need to be scheduled on m identical machines, such that a certain objective function is optimized, for example, the makespan is minimized.
The list scheduling algorithm by Garey and Graham [9] has an absolute ratio , as pointed out by Turek et al. [10] and Ludwig and Tiwari. [11] Feldmann, Sgall and Teng [ 12 ] observed that the length of a non-preemptive schedule produced by the list scheduling algorithm is actually at most ( 2 − 1 / m ) {\displaystyle (2-1/m)} times the ...
This is a sub-category of Category:Scheduling algorithms, focusing on heuristic algorithms for scheduling tasks (jobs) to processors (machines). For optimization problems related to scheduling, see Category:Optimal scheduling.
