Applications Sorting • use element key as priority • put elements to be sorted

Applications Sorting • use element key as priority • put elements to be sorted into a priority queue • extract elements in priority order § if a min priority queue is used, elements are extracted in ascending order of priority (or key) § if a max priority queue is used, elements are extracted in descending order of priority (or key)

Sorting Example Sort five elements whose keys are 6, 8, 2, 4, 1 using

Sorting Example Sort five elements whose keys are 6, 8, 2, 4, 1 using a max priority queue. § Put the five elements into a max priority queue. § Do five remove max operations placing removed elements into the sorted array from right to left.

Complexity Of Sorting Sort n elements. § § n put operations => O(n log

Complexity Of Sorting Sort n elements. § § n put operations => O(n log n) time. n remove max operations => O(n log n) time. total time is O(n log n). compare with O(n 2) for sort methods of Chapter 2.

Heap Sort Uses a max priority queue that is implemented as a heap. Initial put operations are replaced by a heap initialization step that takes O(n) time.

Machine Scheduling § m identical machines (drill press, cutter, sander, etc. ) § n

Machine Scheduling § m identical machines (drill press, cutter, sander, etc. ) § n jobs/tasks to be performed § assign jobs to machines so that the time at which the last job completes is minimum

Machine Scheduling Example 6 13 A 2 7 21 B 3 13 C time ------> Finish time = 21 Objective: Find schedules with minimum finish time.

LPT Schedules Longest Processing Time first. Jobs are scheduled in the order 14, 10, 7, 6, 5, 3, 2 Each job is scheduled on the machine on which it finishes earliest.

LPT Schedule [14, 10, 7, 6, 5, 3, 2] 14 16 A 10 15

LPT Schedule [14, 10, 7, 6, 5, 3, 2] 14 16 A 10 15 B 7 C Finish time is 16! 13 16

LPT Schedule • LPT rule does not guarantee minimum finish time schedules. • (LPT

LPT Schedule • LPT rule does not guarantee minimum finish time schedules. • (LPT Finish Time)/(Minimum Finish Time) <= 4/3 - 1/(3 m) where m is number of machines. • Usually LPT finish time is much closer to minimum finish time. • Minimum finish time scheduling is NP-hard.

NP-hard Problems • Infamous class of problems for which no one has developed a polynomial time algorithm. • That is, no algorithm whose complexity is O(nk) for any constant k is known for any NPhard problem. • The class includes thousands of real-world problems. • Highly unlikely that any NP-hard problem can be solved by a polynomial time algorithm.

NP-hard Problems • Since even polynomial time algorithms with degree k > 3 (say)

NP-hard Problems • Since even polynomial time algorithms with degree k > 3 (say) are not practical for large n, we must change our expectations of the algorithm that is used. • Usually develop fast heuristics for NP-hard problems. § Algorithm that gives a solution close to best. § Runs in acceptable amount of time. • LPT rule is good heuristic for minimum finish time scheduling.

Complexity Of LPT Scheduling • Sort jobs into decreasing order of task time. §

Complexity Of LPT Scheduling • Sort jobs into decreasing order of task time. § O(n log n) time (n is number of jobs) • Schedule jobs in this order. § assign job to machine that becomes available first § must find minimum of m (m is number of machines) finish times § takes O(m) time using simple strategy § so need O(mn) time to schedule all n jobs.

Using A Min Priority Queue • Min priority queue has the finish times of

Using A Min Priority Queue • Min priority queue has the finish times of the m machines. • Initial finish times are all 0. • To schedule a job remove machine with minimum finish time from the priority queue. • Update the finish time of the selected machine and put the machine back into the priority queue.

Using A Min Priority Queue • m put operations to initialize priority queue •

Using A Min Priority Queue • m put operations to initialize priority queue • 1 remove min and 1 put to schedule each job • each put and remove min operation takes O(log m) time • time to schedule is O(n log m) • overall time is O(n log n + n log m) = O(n log (mn))

Min Tree Definition Each tree node has a value. Value in any node is the minimum value in the subtree for which that node is the root. Equivalently, no descendent has a smaller value.
