We study a generalized version of the load balancing problem on unrelated machines with cost constraints: Given a set of m machines (of certain types) and a set of n jobs, each job j processed on machine i requires time units and incurs a cost , and the goal is to find a schedule of jobs to machines, which is defined as an ordered partition of n jobs into m disjoint subsets, in such a way that some objective function of the vector of the completion times of the machines is optimized, subject to the constraint that the total costs by the schedule must be within a given budget B. Motivated by recent results from the literature, our focus is on the case when the number of machine types ... |
