Abstract
Developing modern computer technologies makes it possible not only to solve complex computing problems, but also gives rise to new problems of optimal usage of computing resources. Modern computers can use multiple processors simultaneously and dynamically change the speed of calculations due to additional energy consumption for performing intensive calculations. We consider the speed scaling scheduling problem with energy constraint and parallel jobs. The total sum of completion times is minimized. The NP-hardness of the problem is proved and a mixed integer convex program with continuous time representation is proposed. For searching near-optimal solutions in quick time we develop a genetic algorithm with the generational replacement scheme. The genetic algorithm is experimentally tested and compared with the known greedy algorithm and local improvements technique on meaningful instances. The numerical results highlight the effectiveness and the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. The lower bounds on the objective function and convex program are also experimentally evaluated.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics publishes original papers of high scientific value in all areas of computational and applied mathematics. The main interest of the Journal is in papers that describe and analyze new computational techniques for solving scientific or engineering problems. Also the improved analysis, including the effectiveness and applicability, of existing methods and algorithms is of importance. The computational efficiency (e.g. the convergence, stability, accuracy, ...) should be proved and illustrated by nontrivial numerical examples. Papers describing only variants of existing methods, without adding significant new computational properties are not of interest.
The audience consists of: applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, computational scientists and engineers.
