4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the main problem the photocopy shop is trying to solve?
Think about what happens when many students need copies at once.
Define the brute force method in the context of job scheduling.
Consider how practical this would be with many jobs.
What is the primary goal of the photocopy shop when scheduling jobs?
Think about the reasons why customers would choose the shop.
True or False: The brute force method is the most efficient way to schedule jobs when their number is large.
Consider how many combinations may exist.
Consider a scenario where multiple photocopy jobs come in at the same time from different students. Assume you have two machines with different speeds. Formulate an algorithm that optimizes job scheduling across these two machines, explaining your reasoning.
Think about how to best utilize resources to minimize delays.
How would you modify your scheduling algorithm if job completion times varied by machine (e.g., some machines take longer for certain jobs due to maintenance needs)?
Consider how variations in machine capabilities could impact your scheduling logic.
