Abstract
We consider the problem of scheduling jobs in a processor with temperature constraints. In our model, unit jobs arrive over time, each with a deadline and a heat contribution. The objective is to maximize the total number of completed jobs while keeping the system within a given temperature threshold. Our main result is the analysis of a large class of ‘reasonable’ algorithms. We analyse the competitive ratio of these algorithms as a function of the cooling factor of the system, and show that they are optimal by giving a matching lower bound. We also give some results concerning the multiple machines case.
