Near-Optimal Dynamic Task Scheduling of Precedence Constrained Coarse-Grained Tasks onto a Computational Grid

چکیده
The most common objective function of task scheduling problems is makespan. However, on a computational grid, the 2nd optimal makespan may be much longer than the optimal makespan because the speed of each processor of a grid varies over time. So, if the performance measure is makespan, there is no approximation algorithm in general for scheduling onto a grid. In contrast, recently the authors proposed the computing power consumed by a schedule as a criterion of the schedule. For the criterion, this paper gives a -approximation algorithm for scheduling precedence constrained coarsegrained tasks with the same length onto a grid where is the number of tasks, is the number of processors, and is the length of the critical path of the task graph. The proposed algorithm does not use any prediction information on the performance of underlying resources. is usually a sublinear function of . So, the above performance guarantee converges to one as grows. This result implies a non-trivial result that the computing power consumed by an application on a grid can be limited within times that required by an optimal schedule in such a case.

متن کاملAn improved genetic algorithm for multidimensional optimization of precedence-constrained production planning and scheduling
Integration of production planning and scheduling is a class of problems commonly found in manufacturing industry. This class of problems associated with precedence constraint has been previously modeled and optimized by the authors, in which, it requires a multidimensional optimization at the same time: what to make, how many to make, where to make and the order to make. It is a combinatorial,...
متن کاملA Message-Optimal Distributed Graph Algorithm: Partial Precedence Constrained Scheduling
This paper presents a distributed algorithm for the partial precedence constrained scheduling problem. In the classical precedence constrained scheduling problem all the dependent tasks must be scheduled before the task itself can be scheduled. The partial precedence constrained scheduling problem is a generalized version of the original precedence constrained problem in the sense that the numb...
