A tight lower bound for job scheduling with cancellation
The Job Scheduling with Cancellation problem is a variation of classical scheduling problems in which jobs can be cancelled while waiting for execution. In this paper we prove a tight lower bound of 5 for the competitive ratio of any deterministic online algorithm for this problem, for the case where all jobs have the same processing time. 2005 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملA Lower Bound for Dynamic Scheduling of Data Parallel Programs
Parallel job scheduling is the problem of how to run a work-load of multiple parallel jobs in a single parallel machine. Dynamic means that the possibility of arbitrary arrival times for new jobs is allowed. The scheduler is responsible for nding the best scheduling allocation, both temporal and spatial, as a function of the existing workload. In this study jobs are assumed to be data parallel ...
متن کاملA Lower Bound for Randomized On-Line Multiprocessor Scheduling
We signiicantly improve the previous lower bounds on the performance of randomized algorithms for on-line scheduling jobs on m identical machines. We also show that a natural idea for constructing an algorithm with matching performance does not work.
متن کاملA Better Lower Bound for On-Line Scheduling
We consider the on-line version of the original m-machine scheduling problem: given m machines and n positive real jobs, schedule the n jobs on the m machines so as to minimize the makespan, the completion time of the last job. In the on-line version, as soon as a job arrives, it must be assigned immediately to one of the m machines. We study the competitive ratio of the best algorithm for m-ma...
متن کاملA new lower bound for one-machine earliness-tardiness scheduling
In one-machine scheduling, MIP time-indexed formulations are often used to provide very good lower bounds through Lagrangian relaxations. In order to get an improved lower bound, we add valid cuts to a time-indexed formulation and show we still have a Lagrangian relaxation that can be solved as a shortest path in a graph. Two branch-and-bound algorithms are then presented for the earliness-tard...
