Multi-Processor Scheduling to Minimize Flow Time With Resource Augmentation

Overview This paper addresses the problem of minimizing the average response time of jobs in the multi-processor setting. One is given m identical machines and n jobs. Job i has an arrival time of ri and a processing requirement of pi. Jobs queue up at the machines as they wait to be serviced, and one is interested in minimizing the overall time jobs spend in the system (referred to as flow time or response time). This simple scenario is of great interest in both theory and practice.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
