Towards a Taxonomy of Parallel Branch and Bound Algorithms
In this paper we present a classification of parallel branch and bound algorithms, and elaborate on the consequences of particular parameter settings. The taxonomy is based upon how the algorithms handle the knowledge about the problem instance to be solved, generated during execution. The starting point of the taxonomy is the generally accepted description of the sequential branch and bound al...
متن کاملA Branch-and-bound Algorithm for Parallel Machine Scheduling Problems
In this paper, a Branch-and-Bound (B&B) algorithm is presented to solve the problem of minimizing the maximum completion time Cmax on unrelated parallel machines with machine eligibility restrictions when job preemption is not allowed. A customized lower bound, a search and a branching strategy are developed for the B&B. A machine eligibility factor is also introduced to represent the percentag...
متن کاملA modified branch and bound algorithm for a vague flow-shop scheduling problem
Uncertainty plays a significant role in modeling and optimization of real world systems. Among uncertain approaches, fuzziness describes impreciseness while for ambiguity another definition is required. Vagueness is a probabilistic model of uncertainty being helpful to include ambiguity into modeling different processes especially in industrial systems. In this paper, a vague set based on dista...
متن کاملTowards an abstract parallel branch and bound machine
Many (parallel) branch and bound algorithms look very different from each other at first glance. They exploit, however, the same underlying computational model. This phenomenon can be used to define branch and bound algorithms in terms of a set of basic rules that are applied in a specific (predefined) order. In the sequential case, the specification of Mitten’s rules turns out to be sufficient...
متن کاملComputational Experiments with an Asynchronous Parallel Branch and Bound Algorithm
In this paper we present an asynchronous branch and bound algorithm for execution on an MIMD system, state sufficient conditions to prevent the parallelism from degrading the performance of this algorithm, and investigate the consequences of having the algorithm executed by nonhomogeneous processing elements. We introduce the notions of perfect parallel time and achieved efficiency to empirical...
