Greedy Minimum-Energy Scheduling
摘要
We consider the problem of energy-efficient scheduling across multiple processors with a power-down mechanism. In this setting a set of n jobs with individual release times, deadlines, and processing volumes must be scheduled across m parallel processors while minimizing the consumed energy. When idle, each processor can be turned off to save energy, while turning it on requires a fixed amount of energy. For the special case of a single processor, the greedy Left-to-Right algorithm [
