  2. Interval scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_scheduling

    Interval scheduling is a class of problems in computer science, particularly in the area of algorithm design. The problems consider a set of tasks. The problems consider a set of tasks. Each task is represented by an interval describing the time in which it needs to be processed by some machine (or, equivalently, scheduled on some resource).

  3. Longest-processing-time-first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest-processing-time...

    Longest-processing-time-first (LPT) is a greedy algorithm for job scheduling. The input to the algorithm is a set of jobs, each of which has a specific processing-time. There is also a number m specifying the number of machines that can process the jobs. The LPT algorithm works as follows:

  4. Activity selection problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_selection_problem

    The activity selection problem is also known as the Interval scheduling maximization problem (ISMP), which is a special type of the more general Interval Scheduling problem. A classic application of this problem is in scheduling a room for multiple competing events, each having its own time requirements (start and end time), and many more arise ...

  5. Optimal job scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_job_scheduling

    Optimal job scheduling is a class of optimization problems related to scheduling. The inputs to such problems are a list of jobs (also called processes or tasks) and a list of machines (also called processors or workers). The required output is a schedule – an assignment of jobs to machines. The schedule should optimize a certain objective ...

  6. Earliest deadline first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earliest_deadline_first...

    Earliest deadline first (EDF) or least time to go is a dynamic priority scheduling algorithm used in real-time operating systems to place processes in a priority queue. Whenever a scheduling event occurs (task finishes, new task released, etc.) the queue will be searched for the process closest to its deadline.

  7. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    The matching pursuit is an example of a greedy algorithm applied on signal approximation. A greedy algorithm finds the optimal solution to Malfatti's problem of finding three disjoint circles within a given triangle that maximize the total area of the circles; it is conjectured that the same greedy algorithm is optimal for any number of circles.

  8. Heterogeneous earliest finish time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_Earliest...

    But in complex situations it can easily fail to find the optimal scheduling. HEFT is essentially a greedy algorithm and incapable of making short-term sacrifices for long term benefits. Some improved algorithms based on HEFT look ahead to better estimate the quality of a scheduling decision can be used to trade run-time for scheduling performance.

  9. Charging argument - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charging_Argument

    Recall the earliest finishing time algorithm from the previous example. After modifying the definition of compatibility in the algorithm, the charging argument can be used to show that the earliest finish time algorithm is a 2-approximation algorithm for the job interval scheduling problem.
