Spacetrack: Trading off Quality and Utilization in Oversubscribed Schedules
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many scheduling problems are posed as optimization problems where the goal is to find a feasible schedule that maximizes the utilization of some resource. In some domains it is also necessary to consider the quality of the resulting schedule. In most research these two quantities are independent. This paper introduces a real world problem in which radar tasks must be allocated to track objects in space. We explore the trade-off between off-line task resource utilization and a measure of task quality that correlates to whether tasks are actually successfully executed. We develop two general types of algorithms that differ in the way they reason about quality and explore the trade-off between high quality solutions and solutions with high resource utilization.

Resource Contention Metrics for Oversubscribed Scheduling Problems
We investigate a task insertion heuristic for oversubscribed scheduling problems, max-availability, that uses a simple estimate of resource contention to assign tasks to intervals expected to have the best worst case resource availability. Prior research in value and variable ordering heuristics for scheduling problems indicated that sophisticated, but more costly measures of resource contentio...
متن کاملTrading Places: How to Schedule More in a Multi-Resource Oversubscribed Scheduling Problem
Oversubscribed scheduling problems require removing tasks when enough resources are not available. Prior AI approaches have mostly been constructive or repairbased heuristic search. In contrast, we have found a genetic algorithm (GA) to be the best approach to the overconstrained problem of Air Force Satellite Control Network scheduling. We present empirical results that elucidate sources of di...
متن کاملMessage Scheduling on a Wormhole-Switched Linear Client-Server Network
The advantage of wormhole switching in interconnection networks is its distance insensitivity of communication latency under light traffic. However, this property vanishes when traffic is heavy. We consider the performance of a linear wormhole-switched network used as a real-time client-server network. Messages generated by client hosts are periodically transmitted to a central server within a ...

متن کاملQoS-Aware Admission Control in Heterogeneous Datacenters
Large-scale datacenters (DCs) host tens of thousands of diverse applications each day. Apart from determining where to schedule workloads, the cluster manager should also decide when to constrain application admission to prevent system oversubscription. At the same time datacenter users care not only for fast execution time but for low waiting time (fast scheduling) as well. Recent work has add...
