An Owner-centric Metric for the Evaluation of Online Job Schedules. Proceedings of the 4th Multidisciplinary International Scheduling Conference: Theory and Applications (MISTA 2009), 10-12 Aug 2009, Dublin, Ireland, pages 557-569, 2009.
Paper
The paper presents a metric that is well suited to evaluate online job schedules for massively parallel processors. We point out the disadvantages of commonly used metrics like makespan or machine utilization. We suggest to use the well known total weighted completion time metric with an appropriate selection of job weights and show that this metric exhibits many properties that are similar to the properties of the makespan objective. In addition, it also supports the evaluation of online schedules and allows extensions to consider additional job based system policies. Our performance evaluation of this metric is based on competitive analysis.
