Approximation Algorithms for Demand Strip Packing

Authors: Waldo Gálvez, Fabrizio Grandoni, Afrouz Jabal Ameli, and Kamyar Khodamoradi

Abstract
In the Demand Strip Packing problem (DSP), we are given a time interval and a collection of tasks, each characterized by a processing time and a demand for a given resource (such as electricity, computational power, etc.). A feasible solution consists of a schedule of the tasks within the mentioned time interval. Our goal is to minimize the peak resource consumption, i.e. the maximum total demand of tasks executed at any point in time. It is known that DSP is NP-hard to approximate below a factor 3/2, and standard techniques for related problems imply a (polynomial-time) 2-approximation. Our main result is a (5/3+ε)-approximation algorithm for any constant ε > 0. We also achieve best-possible approximation factors for some relevant special cases.

Scheduling Problems over Network of Machines

Authors: Zachary Friggstad, Arnoosh Golestanian, Kamyar Khodamoradi, Christopher Martin, Mirmahdi Rahgoshay, Mohsen Rezapour, Mohammad R. Salavatipour, and Yifeng Zhang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 81, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2017)

Abstract
We consider scheduling problems in which jobs need to be processed through a (shared) network of machines. The network is given in the form of a graph the edges of which represent the machines. We are also given a set of jobs, each specified by its processing time and a path in the graph. Every job needs to be processed in the order of edges specified by its path. We assume that jobs can wait between machines and preemption is not allowed; that is, once a job is started being processed on a machine, it must be completed without interruption. Every machine can only process one job at a time. The makespan of a schedule is the earliest time by which all the jobs have finished processing. The flow time (a.k.a. the completion time) of a job in a schedule is the difference in time between when it finishes processing on its last machine and when the it begins processing on its first machine. The total flow time (or the sum of completion times) is the sum of flow times (or completion times) of all jobs. Our focus is on finding schedules with the minimum sum of completion times or minimum makespan. In this paper, we develop several algorithms (both approximate and exact) for the problem both on general graphs and when the underlying graph of machines is a tree. Even in the very special case when the underlying network is a simple star, the problem is very interesting as it models a biprocessor scheduling with applications to data migration.

PTAS for Ordered Instances of Resource Allocation Problems

Authors: Kamyar Khodamoradi, Ramesh Krishnamurti, Arash Rafiey, and Georgios Stamoulis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 24, IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2013)

Abstract
We consider the problem of fair allocation of indivisible goods where we are given a set I of m indivisible resources (items) and a set P of n customers (players) competing for the resources. Each resource j in I has a same value vj > 0 for a subset of customers interested in j and it has no value for other customers. The goal is to find a feasible allocation of the resources to the interested customers such that in the Max-Min scenario (also known as Santa Claus problem) the minimum utility (sum of the resources) received by each of the customers is as high as possible and in the Min-Max case (also known as R||C_max problem), the maximum utility is as low as possible. In this paper we are interested in instances of the problem that admit a PTAS. These instances are not only of theoretical interest but also have practical applications. For the Max-Min allocation problem, we start with instances of the problem that can be viewed as a convex bipartite graph; there exists an ordering of the resources such that each customer is interested (has positive evaluation) in a set of consecutive resources and we demonstrate a PTAS. For the Min-Max allocation problem, we obtain a PTAS for instances in which there is an ordering of the customers (machines) and each resource (job) is adjacent to a consecutive set of customers (machines). Next we show that our method for the Max-Min scenario, can be extended to a broader class of bipartite graphs where the resources can be viewed as a tree and each customer is interested in a sub-tree of a bounded number of leaves of this tree (e.g. a sub-path).
