Scenario: We need to assign a set of computational jobs, each with a specific processing time, across multiple identical machines. The goal is to minimize the makespan — the time taken by the machine ...

Abstract: Recently, many scientific researchers and applications work on large amounts of data or use high performance computing resources. A high performance cluster is developed to handle massively ...

Abstract: Job-shop scheduling is a fundamental optimization issue in manufacturing. It involves determining the optimal allocation of many jobs among machines to increase makespan, throughput, and ...

From Computerworld Australia comes news that researchers at the University of Sydney have developed (and, sadly, patented) an algorithm that its inventors say will schedule jobs in a way that reduces ...

$$C_{max} = \max_{i \in M} \sum_{j \in J_i} p_{ij}$$; where $J_i$ is the subset of jobs assigned to machine $i$. We can make an intuitive analogy for this problem ...

techUK’s AI adoption collection of case studies showcases examples of how organisations are Seizing the AI Opportunity, either through the adoption of AI models within their organisations, or by ...

Modifying any part of the Linux kernel source code is usually a challenging task most software developers would prefer to avoid, composed as it is thousands of code lines divided by hundred of files.
