System design must strike a balance between energy and performance by carefully selecting the speed at which the system will run. In this work, we examine fundamental tradeoffs i...
For many companies the scheduling of job shops proves very difficult. Competing priorities (due dates, potential profit) from multiple customers confronts the plant manager with m...
Abstract. We consider energy-performance tradeoff for scheduling parallel jobs on multiprocessors using dynamic speed scaling. The objective is to minimize the sum of energy consu...
This paper studies a load scheduling strategy with nearoptimal processing time leveraging the computational characteristics of parallel DNA sequence alignment algorithms, specific...
One of the critical problems in the call center industries is the staffing problem since they must face variable demands and because staff costs represent a major part of the cost...
