Things to Do from Last Meeting • Journal version for ICPP 2014 paper • Enhance with reviewer comments. • Prepare ITRI midterm report • Late June(?) • How to reduce cutting stock problem to knapsack
Agenda • Reduce cutting stock problem to knapsack • Progress report
Cutting Stock Problem • There are a number of rolls of paper of fixed width waiting to be cut. • Need different numbers of rolls of various-sized width. • Minimize the waste. • Use integer linear programming to find how many times each pattern is used • Patternis a possible combination of cuts.
Reducible to the Knapsack Problem • Column generation is a way of solving cutting stock problem. • Start with only a few patterns and generate new ones as needed. • Generating a new pattern by maximizing the reduced cost. • Integer knapsack problem. • any feasible solution for the auxiliary problem corresponds to a feasible cutting pattern in the cutting-stock problem.
Progress Report • Problem formulation • Divide each time interval into 100 time slices. • Given a set of vCPU and the amount of time slices a vCPU can use on each physical core. • Find a way to schedule these vCPU. • A vCPU cannot appear in two or more physical core on the same time.
Example – 3 vCPUs, 2 Physical Core vCPU0 (60, 20) vCPU1 (0, 50) vCPU2 (20, 30) t=100 t=0
Current Status • Consider n physical cores with m vCPUs. • n < m • Greedy seems to be a good solution(?) • Still working on this problem.
Things to Do • Journal version for ICPP 2014 paper • Enhance with reviewer comments. • Prepare ITRI midterm presentation • 6/25
