Interval scheduling is a class of problems in computer science, particularly in the area of algorithm design. 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).
The problem is to select the maximum number of activities that can be performed by a single person or machine, assuming that a person can only work on a single activity at a time. 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 ...
A row of slot machines in Las Vegas. In probability theory and machine learning, the multi-armed bandit problem (sometimes called the K-[1] or N-armed bandit problem [2]) is a problem in which a decision maker iteratively selects one of multiple fixed choices (i.e., arms or actions) when the properties of each choice are only partially known at the time of allocation, and may become better ...
Schedule each job in this sequence into a machine in which the current load (= total processing-time of scheduled jobs) is smallest. Step 2 of the algorithm is essentially the list-scheduling (LS) algorithm. The difference is that LS loops over the jobs in an arbitrary order, while LPT pre-orders them by descending processing time.
Single-machine scheduling or single-resource scheduling is an optimization problem in computer science and operations research. We are given n jobs J 1 , J 2 , ..., J n of varying processing times, which need to be scheduled on a single machine, in a way that optimizes a certain objective, such as the throughput .
Identical-machines scheduling is an optimization problem in computer science and operations research.We are given n jobs J 1, J 2, ..., J n of varying processing times, which need to be scheduled on m identical machines, such that a certain objective function is optimized, for example, the makespan is minimized.
Uniform machine scheduling (also called uniformly-related machine scheduling or related machine scheduling) is an optimization problem in computer science and operations research. It is a variant of optimal job scheduling. We are given n jobs J 1, J 2, ..., J n of varying processing times, which need to be scheduled on m different machines.
The open-shop scheduling problem can be solved in polynomial time for instances that have only two workstations or only two jobs. It may also be solved in polynomial time when all nonzero processing times are equal: in this case the problem becomes equivalent to edge coloring a bipartite graph that has the jobs and workstations as its vertices, and that has an edge for every job-workstation ...
