Title: Nonlinear neural network for deterministic scheduling

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5152343

This paper addresses the NP-complete, deterministic scheduling problem for a single server system. Given a set of n tasks along with the precedence-constraints among them, their timing requirements, setup costs and their completion deadlines, a neuromorphic model is used to construct a non-preemptive optimal processing schedule such that the total completion time, total tarediness and the number of tardy jobs is minimized. This model exhibits faster convergence than techniques based on gradient projection methods.
