Scheduling Algorithms for Federated Learning With Minimal Energy Consumption

Algorithms for robust production scheduling with energy consumption limits

In this work, we consider a scheduling problem faced by production companies with large electricity consumption. Due to the contract with the electric utility, the production companies are obligated to comply with the total energy consumption limits in the specified time intervals (usually 15-minutes long); otherwise, the companies pay substantial penalty fees. Although it is possible to design...

Test Scheduling for Minimal Energy Consumption under Power Constraints

Power consumption has become a crucial concern in built-in self-test (BIST) due to the increased switching activity in the circuit under test. In this paper we present a method for scheduling tests which aims at minimizing total energy consumption and test application time under peak power constraints. In contrast to previous approaches, our method takes into account switching activity which oc...

Analysis and Algorithms for Scheduling with Minimal Switching Activities

Switching activities are one of the important factors in power minimization. This paper studies the scheduling problem which minimizes switching activities. We show that to find the schedule which minimizes switching activities only or minimizes latency and switching activities with or without resource constraints is NP-complete. Two heuristic scheduling algorithms to minimize switching activit...

Improved teaching–learning-based and JAYA optimization algorithms for solving flexible flow shop scheduling problems

Flexible flow shop (or a hybrid flow shop) scheduling problem is an extension of classical flow shop scheduling problem. In a simple flow shop configuration, a job having ‘g’ operations is performed on ‘g’ operation centres (stages) with each stage having only one machine. If any stage contains more than one machine for providing alternate processing facility, then the problem...
