Abstract:
Beyond the worst-case analysis of algorithms, the learning-augmented framework considers that an algorithm can leverage possibly imperfect predictions about the unknown variables to have guarantees tied to the prediction quality. We consider online non-clairvoyant scheduling to minimize the max-stretch under this framework, where the scheduler can access job size predictions. We present a family of algorithms: *Relaxed-Greedy (RG)* with an O(η3⋅√P) competitive ratio, where η denotes the prediction error for job sizes and P the maximum job size ratio; *Adaptive Relaxed-Greedy* with an O(λ0.5⋅η2.5⋅√P) competitive ratio, where λ denotes the error for the minimum job size; *Predictive Relaxed-Greedy* with an O(λ0.5⋅φ0.5⋅η⋅maxη,φ⋅√P) competitive ratio, where φ denotes the error for the maximum job size. We also present *RGx*, an algorithm that represents a trade-off between consistency and smoothness, with an O(η2+2x⋅P1−x) competitive ratio. We introduce a general method using resource augmentation to bound robustness, resulting in *RR*-augmented *RG*, with a (1+ϵ)-speed O(minη3√P,nϵ) competitive ratio. Finally, we conduct simulations on synthetic and real-world datasets to evaluate the practical performance of these algorithms.
