Lottery Scheduling is a Probability probabilistic Scheduling computing scheduling algorithm for Computer process processes in an operating system . Processes are each assigned some number of lottery ticket s, and the scheduler draws a random ticket to select the next process. The distribution of tickets need not be uniform granting a process more tickets provides it a relative higher chance of selection. This technique can be used to approximate other scheduling algorithms , such as Shortest job next and Fair share scheduling . Lottery scheduling solves the problem of Resource starvation starvation . Giving each process at least one lottery ticket guarantees that it has non zero probability of being selected at each scheduling operation. Implementation Implementations of lottery scheduling should take into consideration that there could be billions of tickets distributed among a large pool of threads. To have an array where each index represents a ticket, and each location contains the thread corresponding to that ticket, may be highly inefficient. Lottery scheduling can be preemptive or non preemptive.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Trace scheduling is an Compiler optimization optimization technique used in compilers for computer programs . A compiler often can, by Instruction scheduling rearranging its generated machine instruction s for faster execution, improve program performance. Trace scheduling is one of many known techniques for doing so. Trace scheduling was originally developed for Very Long Instruction Word, or VLIW machines, and is a form of global code motion. It works by converting a loop to long straight line code sequence using loop unrolling and static branch prediction . This process separates out unlikely code and adds handlers for exits from trace. The goal is to have the most common case executed as a sequential set of instructions without branches.

In Computer science , Gang scheduling is a scheduling algorithm for parallel systems that schedules related thread computer science thread s or process computing process es to run simultaneously on different central processing unit processor s. Usually these will be threads all belonging to the same process, but they may also be from different processes, for example when the processes have a producer consumer relationship, or when they all come from the same Message Passing Interface MPI program. Gang scheduling is used so that if two or more threads or processes communicate with each other, they will all be ready to communicate at the same time. If they were not gang scheduled, then one could wait to send or receive a message to another while it is sleeping, and vice versa. When processors are over subscribed and gang scheduling is not used within a group of processes or threads which communicate with each other, it can lead to situations where each communication event suffers the overhead of a context switch. Technically, gang scheduling is based on a data structure called the Ousterhout matrix. In this matrix each row represents a time slice, and each column a processor. The threads or processes of each job are packed ref Dror G. Feitelson 1996 . http dx.doi.org 10.1007 BFb0022289 Packing schemes for gang scheduling .

Anticipatory scheduling is an algorithm for scheduling hard disk input output . It seeks to increase the efficiency of disk utilization by anticipating synchronous read operations. Deceptive idleness is a situation where a process computing process appears to be finished reading from the disk when it is actually processing data in preparation of the next read operation. This will cause a normal work conserving I O scheduler to switch to servicing I O from an unrelated process. This situation is detrimental to the throughput of synchronous reads, as it degenerates into a seeking workload. ref cite journal author Iyer, Sitaram title The Effect of Deceptive Idleness on Disk Schedulers url http scholarship.rice.edu handle 1911 17433 accessdate 2010 04 20 ref Anticipatory scheduling overcomes deceptive idleness by pausing for a short time a few milliseconds after a read operation in anticipation of another close by read requests. ref cite mailing list last Morton first Andrew authorlink Andrew Morton computer programmer title 2.5.59 mm5 mailinglist linux kernel, linux mm date 2003 01 23 url http kerneltrap.org node 567 accessdate 2007 05 23 ref Anticipatory scheduling yields significant improvements in disk utilization for some workloads. ref cite mailing list last Morton first Andrew authorlink Andrew Morton computer programmer title IO scheduler benchmarking mailinglist linux kernel ... web server may achieve up to 71 more throughput from using anticipatory scheduling. ref cite conference last Iyer first Sitaram coauthors Druschel, Peter title Anticipatory scheduling A disk scheduling ...

Interval scheduling is a class of problems in computer science , particularly in the area of algorithm design. A list of tasks is given as a set of time intervals for instance, one task might run from 2 00 to 5 00 and another task might run from 6 00 to 8 00. Posed as an optimization problem, the goal is to maximize the number of executed tasks without overlapping the tasks. A request corresponds to an interval of time. We say that a subset of requests is compatible if no two of them overlap in time and our goal is to accept as large a compatible subset as possible. A compatible set of maximum size is called optimal. There are several solutions for this problem that are not optimal. For example, selecting the intervals that start earliest is not an optimal solution because if the earliest interval happens to be really long by accepting it we would have to reject many other shorter requests. Selecting the shortest intervals or selecting intervals with the fewest conflicts is also not optimal. The optimal solution is choosing the earliest finishing time, as in the request that finishes first. One way of proving the optimality of this algorithm is by using the Charging Argument . An important class of scheduling algorithms is the class of dynamic priority algorithms. When none of the intervals overlap the optimum solution is trivial. The optimum for the non weighted version can found with the earliest deadline first scheduling . Weighted interval scheduling is a generalization where a value is assigned to each executed task and the goal is to maximize the total value. The solution need not be unique.

Event scheduling is the activity of finding a suitable time for an event such as meeting, conference, trip, etc. It is an important part of event planning that is usually carried out at its beginning stage. In general, event scheduling must take into account what impact particular dates of the event could have on the success of the event. When organizing a scientific Academic conference conference , for example, organizers might take into account the knowledge in which periods classes are held at universities, since it is expected that many potential participants are university professors. They should also try to check that no other similar conferences are held at the same time, because overlapping would make a problem for those participants who are interesting in attending all conferences. When it is well known who is expected to attend the event e.g. in the case of a project meeting , organizers usually try to synchronize the time of the event with planned schedules of all participants. This is a difficult task when there are many participants or when the participants are located at distant places. In such cases, the organizers should first define a set of suggested dates and address a query about suitable dates to potential participants. After response is obtained from all participants, the event time suitable for most of participants is selected.

The goal of dynamic priority scheduling is to adapt to dynamically changing progress and form an optimal configuration in self sustained manner. It can be very hard to produce well defined policies to achieve the goal depends on difficulty of given problem. Earliest deadline first scheduling and Least slack time scheduling are examples of Dynamic priority scheduling algorithms. Measurement on effectiveness of scheduling The idea of dynamic priority scheduling is to confine focus on algorithms that assign priorities based on temporal parameters and maximize of resources utilization This utilization measurement of a certain scheduling, called schedulable utilization, is scaled from 0 to 1, and the higher the schedulable utilization means the better algorithm. Every set of periodic tasks with total utilization less or equal than the schedulable utilization of an algorithm can be feasibly scheduled by that algorithm.
