A Note on Scheduling Equal-Length Jobs to Maximize Throughput

We study the problem of scheduling equal-length jobs with release times and deadlines, where the objective is to maximize the number of completed jobs. Preemptions are not allowed. In Graham's notation, the problem is described as 1|r_j;p_j=p|\sum U_j. We give the following results: (1) We show that the often cited algorithm by Carlier from 1981 is not correct. (2) We give an algorithm for this problem with running time O(n^5).

Preemptive Scheduling of Equal-Length Jobs to Maximize Weighted Throughput

We study the problem of computing a preemptive schedule of equal-length jobs with given release times, deadlines and weights. Our goal is to maximize the weighted throughput, which is the total weight of completed jobs. In Graham's notation this problem is described as (1 | r_j;p_j=p;pmtn | sum w_j U_j). We provide an O(n^4)-time algorithm for this problem, improving the previous bound of O(n^{10}) by Baptiste.
