This book was released on 1994 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "A parallelizable (or malleable) task is one which can be run on an arbitrary number of processors, with a task execution time that depends on the number of processors allotted to it. Consider a system of M independent parallelizable tasks which are to be scheduled without preemption on a parallel computer consisting of P identical processors. For each task, the execution time is a known function of the number of processors allotted to it. The goal is to find (1) for each task i, an allotment of processors [beta][subscript i], and (2) overall, a non-preemptive schedule assigning the tasks to the processors which minimizes the average response time of the tasks. Equivalently, we can minimize the flow time, which is the sum of the completion times of each of the tasks. In this paper we tackle the problem of finding a schedule with minimum average response time in the special case where each task in the system has sublinear speedup. This natural restriction on the task execution time means simply that the efficiency of a task decreases or remains constant as the number of processors allotted to it increases. The scheduling problem with sublinear speedups has been shown to be NP-complete in the strong sense. We therefore focus on finding a polynomial time algorithm whose solution comes within a fixed multiplicative constant of optimal. In particular, we give an algorithm which finds a schedule having a response time that is within 2 times that of the optimal schedule and which runs in O(M(M2 + P)) time."

Download or read book Scheduling for Parallel Processing written by Maciej Drozdowski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-14 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overview and Goals This book is dedicated to scheduling for parallel processing. Presenting a research ?eld as broad as this one poses considerable dif?culties. Scheduling for parallel computing is an interdisciplinary subject joining many ?elds of science and te- nology. Thus, to understand the scheduling problems and the methods of solving them it is necessary to know the limitations in related areas. Another dif?culty is that the subject of scheduling parallel computations is immense. Even simple search in bibliographical databases reveals thousands of publications on this topic. The - versity in understanding scheduling problems is so great that it seems impossible to juxtapose them in one scheduling taxonomy. Therefore, most of the papers on scheduling for parallel processing refer to one scheduling problem resulting from one way of perceiving the reality. Only a few publications attempt to arrange this ?eld of knowledge systematically. In this book we will follow two guidelines. One guideline is a distinction - tween scheduling models which comprise a set of scheduling problems solved by dedicated algorithms. Thus, the aim of this book is to present scheduling models for parallel processing, problems de?ned on the grounds of certain scheduling models, and algorithms solving the scheduling problems. Most of the scheduling problems are combinatorial in nature. Therefore, the second guideline is the methodology of computational complexity theory. Inthisbookwepresentfourexamplesofschedulingmodels. Wewillgodeepinto the models, problems, and algorithms so that after acquiring some understanding of them we will attempt to draw conclusions on their mutual relationships.

This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 2410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combinatorial (or discrete) optimization is one of the most active fields in the interface of operations research, computer science, and applied math ematics. Combinatorial optimization problems arise in various applications, including communications network design, VLSI design, machine vision, air line crew scheduling, corporate planning, computer-aided design and man ufacturing, database query design, cellular telephone frequency assignment, constraint directed reasoning, and computational biology. Furthermore, combinatorial optimization problems occur in many diverse areas such as linear and integer programming, graph theory, artificial intelligence, and number theory. All these problems, when formulated mathematically as the minimization or maximization of a certain function defined on some domain, have a commonality of discreteness. Historically, combinatorial optimization starts with linear programming. Linear programming has an entire range of important applications including production planning and distribution, personnel assignment, finance, alloca tion of economic resources, circuit simulation, and control systems. Leonid Kantorovich and Tjalling Koopmans received the Nobel Prize (1975) for their work on the optimal allocation of resources. Two important discover ies, the ellipsoid method (1979) and interior point approaches (1984) both provide polynomial time algorithms for linear programming. These algo rithms have had a profound effect in combinatorial optimization. Many polynomial-time solvable combinatorial optimization problems are special cases of linear programming (e.g. matching and maximum flow). In addi tion, linear programming relaxations are often the basis for many approxi mation algorithms for solving NP-hard problems (e.g. dual heuristics).
