Online scalable scheduling for the lk-norms of flow time without conservation of work
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We address the scheduling model of arbitrary speed-up curves and the broadcast scheduling model. The former occurs when jobs are scheduled in a multi-core system or on a cloud of machines. Here jobs can be sped up when given more processors or machines. However, the parallelizability of the jobs may vary and the algorithm is required to be oblivious of the parallelizability of a job. The latter model is natural in wireless and LAN networks where requests (or jobs) can be simultaneously satisfied together. Both settings are similar in that two schedules can do different amounts of work to satisfy all the jobs. We focus on optimizing the lk- norms of flow time. Recently, Gupta et al. [24] gave a (k + e)-speed O(1)-competitive algorithm for the lk norms of flow time in both scheduling settings for fixed k. Inspired by this work, we give the first analysis of a scalable algorithm, i.e. (1 + e)-speed O(1)-competitive, for all lk-norms of flow time in both settings for fixed k and 0

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
