MIP Models and Complexity Results for DAG Scheduling in the Cloud
摘要
In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling computational DAGs in the cloud, closely related to parallel machine scheduling with precedence constraints. While there exists a huge variety of heuristics and metaheuristics dealing with DAG scheduling, little work has been done with regard to the mathematical properties of the problem. We strive to close this gap by presenting results on the complexity and inapproximability of the cloud DAG scheduling problem and suggesting mixed-integer programming models.
