Abstract: | One considers the problem of forming the optimal schedulings with gaps for a service system withN identical parallel processors. In the service one performsK jobs, each of which consists of Vi homogeneous independent operations and has lower and upper directive times di and Di. For the operations which constitute the jobs, one considers linear penalty functions outside the interval [di,Di]. One solves the problem of finding the schedulings with a minimal total penalty and having the origin in a given interval [t1,t2]. It is proved that for an arbitrary set Z of jobs, the penalty function FZ(t), where t is the origin of the scheduling, has a unique minimum for t∈(?∞,+∞). We present an algorithm for the construction of the optimal scheduling requiring (C cdot Kleft( {mathop {max }limits_i left{ {D_i } right} - mathop {min }limits_i left{ {d_i } right} + sumlimits_1^kappa {V_i } } right)) operations on an electronic computer. |
