3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define lateness in the context of job scheduling.
Think about the relationship between job completion time and its deadline.
What is the goal of the greedy algorithm in job scheduling?
Consider what 'greedy' implies about choices made.
What is the main goal of the 'Minimizing Lateness' problem?
Reflect on what lateness means in this context.
True or False: The shortest job first strategy always results in the optimal schedule.
Consider when shorter jobs have later deadlines.
Imagine five jobs with the following durations and deadlines: Job A (2 units, deadline 4), Job B (4 units, deadline 10), Job C (1 unit, deadline 3), Job D (2 units, deadline 2), Job E (5 units, deadline 15). Determine the optimal order of execution and calculate the maximum lateness.
Look at the deadlines and durations to form the best order.
Propose a real-world scenario involving job scheduling. Describe how you would apply the concepts discussed in this section to optimize outcomes in that scenario.
Think about deadlines and how you would prioritize tasks.
