Energy-Minimal Scheduling of Divisible Loads

Published: 14 July 2015 Publication History

Abstract

It is known that energy-minimal scheduling is strictly harder than minimal-makespan scheduling, but it is not well understood. This paper is a study of the problems of scheduling to minimize the energy consumed by a system of dissimilar machines (with no restriction on the makespan). The different system types considered are for machines with identical speeds but different power ratings, and for machines with different speeds and power ratings but no idle power consumption. The results give insights for further studies classifying various types of energy-minimal scheduling problems, and for deriving algorithms for exact or approximate solutions for such problems.
