Abstract
This paper investigates the non-clairvoyant parallel machine scheduling problem with prediction, with the objective of minimizing the makespan. Improved lower bounds for the problem and competitive ratios of online algorithms with respect to the prediction error are presented for both the non-preemptive and preemptive cases on m identical machines.
期刊介绍:
Information Processing Letters invites submission of original research articles that focus on fundamental aspects of information processing and computing. This naturally includes work in the broadly understood field of theoretical computer science; although papers in all areas of scientific inquiry will be given consideration, provided that they describe research contributions credibly motivated by applications to computing and involve rigorous methodology. High quality experimental papers that address topics of sufficiently broad interest may also be considered.
Since its inception in 1971, Information Processing Letters has served as a forum for timely dissemination of short, concise and focused research contributions. Continuing with this tradition, and to expedite the reviewing process, manuscripts are generally limited in length to nine pages when they appear in print.
