  1. Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths Mugurel Ionut Andreica Polytechnic University of Bucharest Computer Science Department

  2. Summary • Motivation – Scheduling File Transfers • Offline Scheduling • maximum profit scheduling (files with divisible sizes) – heuristic algorithm • minimum cost scheduling – optimal algorithm • Online Resource Management • algorithmic framework for the block partitioning method (=data structure) Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  3. Motivation • world-wide development and deployment of distributed systems, services and applications • competition for bottleneck resources => poor performance • inefficient usage of available resources => poor performance • scheduling techniques => performance improvements Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  4. Maximum Profit Scheduling • n files (divisible sizes) • szi – size of the ith file • sz1≤sz2 ≤... ≤ szn • szi=qi·szi-1, qi≥1 is an integer • pi=profit of the ith file (transfer request) • k paths • path j – available in the interval [0,Tj] • unit speed • schedule the requests non-preemptively + at most one request per path per time unit • equivalent to multiple knapsack with divisible item sizes Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  5. Multiple Knapsack with Divisible Item Sizes • NP-hard • can be solved in O(n·max{Tj}k) (extension from single knapsack problem) • heuristics • Greedy1MultipleKnapsack(n,k) • pack the items optimally in the first knapsack • remove the q packed items and the knapsack • call Greedy1MultipleKnapsack(n-q,k-1) with the remaining items and knapsacks • Greedy2 • sort the items according to some criterion (e.g. Profit/size) • insert the items into knapsack using the First Fit heuristic • new heuristic algorithm – this paper Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  6. New Heuristic Algorithm (1/2) (Multiple Knapsack with Divisible Item Sizes) • split the items into groups • all the items in the same group (i) have the same size (sgi) • sg1>sg2>...>sgG (G=total # of groups) • within a group, sort the items in decreasing order of their profits • pri,1≥pri,2≥…≥pri,ni (ni=the # of items in group i) • insert the items into knapsacks using the First Fit heuristic • traverse the items in inreasing order of group number; within a group, in increasing order of item number • choice of knapsack for an item (i,j) – not important => because of divisible item sizes, we insert the same set of items Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  7. New Heuristic Algorithm (2/2) (Multiple Knapsack with Divisible Item Sizes) • repeatedly improve the initial solution • replace an item (i,j) in the knapsack with a subset Q of items outside the knapsack, s.t. pr(i,j)<profit(Q) && profit(Q)-pr(i,j)=maximum • ignore item (i,j) from now on • time complexity • O(n·S·min{n,S·log(S)}) • S=maximum size of an item Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  8. Performance Evaluation(Multiple Knapsack with Divisible Item Sizes) • tested algorithms • new heuristic • Greedy1MultipleKnapsack • Greedy2 (with multiple criteria) • direct solution (extension from single knapsack) • results • most of the cases – solved optimally by the new heuristic • in terms of quality of solution and running time => the new heuristic = clear winner • followed by Greedy1MultipleKnapsack Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  9. Minimum Cost Scheduling (1/3) • sequence of n identical files • to be sent consecutively from the same source to the same destination • sending time per file=1 time unit • k data transfer providers • provider j • cost: Cj per time unit • lease at most ONE time interval of duration at most Tmax,i which includes [T1,j, T2,j] • default network link: cost Li for transferring the ith file • minimize the total cost Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  10. Minimum Cost Scheduling (2/3) • O(n·k) dynamic programming • sort the data transfer providers in increasing order of T2,j: T2,1≤T2,2≤…≤T2,n • Cmin[i,j]=the minimum total cost for sending the first j files using a subset of the first i providers (in the sorted order) Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  11. Minimum Cost Scheduling (3/3) • compute an auxiliary array minpi in O(n) time • for j in [T2,i, T1,i+Tmax,i]: • Cmin[i,j]=min{Cmin[i-1,j], Cmin[i,j-1]+Lj, (j-T1,i)·Ci+minpi[j-Tmax,i]} • Cmin[k,n] – the answer • O(n·k) overall Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  12. Online Resource Management(1/4) • scenario • a resource manager receives resource allocation and reservation requests • request=amount of resource (bandwidth) + time constraints (fixed duration, earliest start time, latest finish time) • model • time – divided into equally-sized time slots • many requests simultaneously => we need low response times => efficient data structure Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  13. Online Resource Management(2/4) • algorithmic framework • block partitioning method • array of n cells • each cell – value vi • divide the cells: n/k blocks of size k • update and query functions: O(k+n/k) • k=sqrt(n) => O(k+n/k)=O(sqrt(n)) • point and range queries • vi=? • qFunc(va, va+1, ..., vb)=? • point and range updates • vi=u • vi=uFunc(u, vi), a≤i≤ b Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  14. Online Resource Management(3/4) • update functions • BPpointUpdate • BPrangeUpdate • BPrangeUpdatePoints • BPrangeUpdatePartialBlock • BPrangeUpdateFullBlock • query functions • BPpointQuery • BPrangeQuery • BPrangeQueryPoints • BPrangeQueryPartialBlock • BPrangeQueryFullBlock Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  15. Online Resource Management(4/4) • solves efficiently many problems • range addition update+range min query • range set update+range maximum sum segment query • ... many more • typical resource reservation requests • range addition update (reserve bandwidth for a full time interval) • range minimum query (check to see if enough bandwidth is available in every time slot) Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths

  16. Conclusions • offline scheduling problems • maximum profit scheduling • multiple knapsack with divisible item sizes – efficient heuristic • minimum cost scheduling • optimal dynamic programming algorithm • online resource management • algorithmic framework (new) for the block partitioning method (well known) Optimal Scheduling of File Transfers with Divisible Sizes on Multiple Disjoint Paths
