Improved Bounds on Relaxations of a Parallel Machine Scheduling Problem
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs with release dates on m identical parallel machines to minimize the average completion time of the jobs. We prove that the ratio of the...

A Fast 5/2-Approximation Algorithm for Hierarchical Scheduling
We present in this article a new approximation algorithm for scheduling a set of n independent rigid (meaning requiring a fixed number of processors) jobs on hierarchical parallel ...

Packing the most onto your cloud
Parallel dataflow programming frameworks such as Map-Reduce are increasingly being used for large scale data analysis on computing clouds. It is therefore becoming important to a...

Dynamic Fractional Resource Scheduling for cluster platforms
We propose a novel approach, called Dynamic Fractional Resource Scheduling (DFRS), to share homogeneous cluster computing platforms among competing jobs. DFRS leverages virtual mac...

Competitive Two-Level Adaptive Scheduling Using Resource Augmentation
Abstract. As multi-core processors proliferate, it has become more important than ever to ensure efficient execution of parallel jobs on multiprocessor systems. In this paper, we s...
