Scheduling of unit-length jobs with bipartite incompatibility graphs on four uniform machines
In the paper we consider the problem of scheduling n identical jobs on 4 uniform machines with speeds s ≥ s ≥ s ≥ s , respectively. Our aim is to find a schedule with a minimum possible length. We assume that jobs are subject to some kind of mutual exclusion constraints modeled by a bipartite incomp...

| Shrnutí: | In the paper we consider the problem of scheduling n identical jobs on 4 uniform machines with speeds s
≥ s
≥ s
≥ s
, respectively. Our aim is to find a schedule with a minimum possible length. We assume that jobs are subject to some kind of mutual exclusion constraints modeled by a bipartite incompatibility graph of degree Δ, where two incompatible jobs cannot be processed on the same machine. We show that the general problem is NP-hard even if s
= s
= s
. If, however, Δ ≤ 4 and s
≥ 12s
, s
= s
= s
, then the problem can be solved to optimality in time O(n
). The same algorithm returns a solution of value at most 2 times optimal provided that s
≥ 2s
. Finally, we study the case s
≥ s
≥ s
= s
and give a 32/15-approximation algorithm running also in O(n
) time. |
