A Competitive Algorithm for Throughout Maximization on Identical Machines

Benjamin Moseley, Kirk Pruhs, Clifford Stein, Rudy Zhou

This paper considers the basic problem of scheduling jobs online with preemption to maximize the number of jobs completed by their deadline on $m$ identical machines. The main result is an $O(1)$ competitive deterministic algorithm for any number of machines $m >1$.
