  2. Interval scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_scheduling

    The following greedy algorithm, called Earliest deadline first scheduling, does find the optimal solution for unweighted single-interval scheduling: Select the interval, x, with the earliest finishing time. Remove x, and all intervals intersecting x, from the set of candidate intervals. Repeat until the set of candidate intervals is empty.

  3. Activity selection problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_selection_problem

    The activity selection problem is also known as the Interval scheduling maximization problem (ISMP), which is a special type of the more general Interval Scheduling problem. A classic application of this problem is in scheduling a room for multiple competing events, each having its own time requirements (start and end time), and many more arise ...

  4. Modified due-date scheduling heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_due-date...

    The modified due date scheduling is a scheduling heuristic created in 1982 by Baker and Bertrand, [1] used to solve the NP-hard single machine total-weighted tardiness problem. This problem is centered around reducing the global tardiness of a list of tasks which are characterized by their processing time, due date and weight by re-ordering them.

  5. Optimal job scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_job_scheduling

    interval order: Each job has an interval [s x,e x) and job is a predecessor of if and only if the end of the interval of is strictly less than the start of the interval for .= In the presence of a precedence relation one might in addition assume time lags. The time lag between two jobs is the amount of time that must be waited after the first ...

  6. Longest-processing-time-first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest-processing-time...

    Longest-processing-time-first (LPT) is a greedy algorithm for job scheduling. The input to the algorithm is a set of jobs, each of which has a specific processing-time. There is also a number m specifying the number of machines that can process the jobs. The LPT algorithm works as follows:

  7. Identical-machines scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identical-machines_scheduling

    This algorithm runs in time O(n). The specific list-scheduling algorithm called Longest Processing Time First (LPT), which sorts the jobs by descending length, is a / / approximation for identical machines. [4]: sec.5 It is also called greedy number partitioning.

  8. Earliest deadline first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earliest_deadline_first...

    Earliest deadline first (EDF) or least time to go is a dynamic priority scheduling algorithm used in real-time operating systems to place processes in a priority queue. Whenever a scheduling event occurs (task finishes, new task released, etc.) the queue will be searched for the process closest to its deadline.

  9. Single-machine scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-machine_scheduling

    Single-machine scheduling or single-resource scheduling or Dhinchak Pooja 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 a single machine, in a way that optimizes a certain objective, such as the throughput .
