We study how to efficiently schedule online perfectly malleable parallel jobs with arbitrary arrival times on m 2 processors. We take into account both the linear speedup of such...
We consider a call center with two classes of impatient customers: premium and regular classes. Modeling our call center as a multiclass GI/GI/s + M queue, we focus on developing ...
In this paper two scheduling models are addressed. First is the standard model (unicast) where requests (or jobs) are independent. The other is the broadcast model where broadcast...
The past few years have witnessed a number of interesting online algorithms for deadline scheduling in the dynamic speed scaling model (in which a processor can vary its speed to ...
While standard parallel machine scheduling is concerned with good assignments of jobs to machines, we aim to understand how the quality of an assignment is affected if the jobs’...
