Online scheduling of unit jobs on three machines with rejection: A tight result
نویسندگان
چکیده
We design an algorithm of the best possible competitive ratio for preemptive and non-preemptive scheduling of unit size jobs with rejection on three identical machines. The algorithm does not use preemption even for the preemptive variant, and it has the interesting feature that one of its parameters is not fixed in advance, and it is defined based on the properties of the first input job having a sufficiently large rejection penalty.

Online Scheduling of Jobs for D-benevolent instances On Identical Machines
We consider online scheduling of jobs with specic release time on m identical machines. Each job has a weight and a size; the goal is maximizing total weight of completed jobs. At release time of a job it must immediately be scheduled on a machine or it will be rejected. It is also allowed during execution of a job to preempt it; however, it will be lost and only weight of completed jobs contri...
متن کاملA Note on Online Scheduling for Jobs with Arbitrary Release Times
We investigate the problem of on-line scheduling for jobs with arbitrary release times on m identical parallel machines. The goal is to minimize the makespan. We derive a best possible online algorithm with competitive ratio of 2 for m = 2. For a special case that all the jobs have unit processing times, we prove that Algorithm LS has a tight bound of 3/2 for general m machines.

متن کاملScheduling with conflicts: online and offline algorithms
We consider the following problem of scheduling with conflicts (SWC): Find a minimum makespan schedule on identical machines where conflicting jobs cannot be scheduled concurrently. We study the problem when conflicts between jobs are modeled by general graphs. Our first main positive result is an exact algorithm for two machines and job sizes in {1, 2}. For jobs sizes in {1, 2, 3}, we can obta...
