4.1 Interval Partitioning

10 Interval Partitioning Interval partitioning. n Lecture j starts at s j and finishes at f j. n Goal: find minimum number of classrooms to schedule all lectures so that no two occur at the same time in the same room. Ex: This schedule uses 4 classrooms to schedule 10 lectures. Time 99:301010:301111:301212:3011:3022:30 h c b a e d g f i j 33:3044:30 1 2 3 4

11 Interval Partitioning Interval partitioning. n Lecture j starts at s j and finishes at f j. n Goal: find minimum number of classrooms to schedule all lectures so that no two occur at the same time in the same room. Ex: This schedule uses only 3. Time 99:301010:301111:301212:3011:3022:30 h c a e f g i j 33:3044:30 d b 1 2 3

12 Interval Partitioning: Lower Bound on Optimal Solution Def. The depth of a set of open intervals is the maximum number that contain any given time. Key observation. Number of classrooms needed  depth. Ex: Depth of schedule below = 3  schedule below is optimal. Q. Does there always exist a schedule equal to depth of intervals? Time 99:301010:301111:301212:3011:3022:30 h c a e f g i j 33:3044:30 d b a, b, c all contain 9:30 1 2 3

13 Interval Partitioning: Greedy Algorithm Greedy algorithm. Consider lectures in increasing order of start time: assign lecture to any compatible classroom. Implementation. O(n log n). n For each classroom k, maintain the finish time of the last job added. n Keep the classrooms in a priority queue. Sort intervals by starting time so that s 1  s 2 ...  s n. d  0 for j = 1 to n { if (lecture j is compatible with some classroom k) schedule lecture j in classroom k else allocate a new classroom d + 1 schedule lecture j in classroom d + 1 d  d + 1 } number of allocated classrooms

14 Interval Partitioning: Greedy Analysis Observation. Greedy algorithm never schedules two incompatible lectures in the same classroom. Theorem. Greedy algorithm is optimal. Pf. n Let d = number of classrooms that the greedy algorithm allocates. n Classroom d is opened because we needed to schedule a job, say j, that is incompatible with all d-1 other classrooms. n These d jobs each end after s j. n Since we sorted by start time, all these incompatibilities are caused by lectures that start no later than s j. n Thus, we have d lectures overlapping at time s j + . n Key observation  all schedules use  d classrooms. ▪

4.2 Scheduling to Minimize Lateness

16 Scheduling to Minimizing Lateness Minimizing lateness problem. n Single resource processes one job at a time. n Job j requires t j units of processing time and is due at time d j. n If j starts at time s j, it finishes at time f j = s j + t j. n Lateness: j = max { 0, f j - d j }. n Goal: schedule all jobs to minimize maximum lateness L = max j. Ex: 01234567891011 12131415 d 5 = 14d 2 = 8d 6 = 15d 1 = 6d 4 = 9d 3 = 9 lateness = 0 lateness = 2 djdj 6 tjtj 3 1 8 2 2 9 1 3 9 4 4 14 3 5 15 2 6 max lateness = 6

Earliest deadline first.

20 Minimizing Lateness: No Idle Time Observation. There exists an optimal schedule with no idle time. Observation. The greedy schedule has no idle time. 0123456 d = 4d = 6 7891011 d = 12 0123456 d = 4d = 6 7891011 d = 12

21 Minimizing Lateness: Inversions Def. Given a schedule S, an inversion is a pair of jobs i and j such that: i < j but j scheduled before i. Observation. Greedy schedule has no inversions. Observation. If a schedule (with no idle time) has an inversion, it has one with a pair of inverted jobs scheduled consecutively. ij before swap fifi inversion [ as before, we assume jobs are numbered so that d 1  d 2  …  d n ]

22 Minimizing Lateness: Inversions Def. Given a schedule S, an inversion is a pair of jobs i and j such that: i < j but j scheduled before i. Claim. Swapping two consecutive, inverted jobs reduces the number of inversions by one and does not increase the max lateness. Pf. Let be the lateness before the swap, and let ' be it afterwards. n ' k = k for all k  i, j n ' i  i n If job j is late: ij ij before swap after swap f' j fifi inversion

23 Minimizing Lateness: Analysis of Greedy Algorithm Theorem. Greedy schedule S is optimal. Pf. Define S* to be an optimal schedule that has the fewest number of inversions, and let's see what happens. n Can assume S* has no idle time. n If S* has no inversions, then S = S*. n If S* has an inversion, let i-j be an adjacent inversion. – swapping i and j does not increase the maximum lateness and strictly decreases the number of inversions – this contradicts definition of S* ▪

24 Greedy Analysis Strategies Greedy algorithm stays ahead. Show that after each step of the greedy algorithm, its solution is at least as good as any other algorithm's. Structural. Discover a simple "structural" bound asserting that every possible solution must have a certain value. Then show that your algorithm always achieves this bound. Exchange argument. Gradually transform any solution to the one found by the greedy algorithm without hurting its quality. Other greedy algorithms. Kruskal, Prim, Dijkstra, Huffman, …

4.3 Optimal Caching

26 Optimal Offline Caching Caching. n Cache with capacity to store k items. n Sequence of m item requests d 1, d 2, …, d m. n Cache hit: item already in cache when requested. n Cache miss: item not already in cache when requested: must bring requested item into cache, and evict some existing item, if full. Goal. Eviction schedule that minimizes number of cache misses. Ex: k = 2, initial cache = ab, requests: a, b, c, b, c, a, a, b. Optimal eviction schedule: 2 cache misses. ab ab cb cb cb ab a b c b c a aba abb cache requests red = cache miss

27 Optimal Offline Caching: Farthest-In-Future Farthest-in-future. Evict item in the cache that is not requested until farthest in the future. Theorem. [Bellady, 1960s] FF is optimal eviction schedule. Pf. Algorithm and theorem are intuitive; proof is subtle. ab g a b c e d a b b a c d e a f a d e f g h... current cache:cdef future queries: cache miss eject this one

28 Reduced Eviction Schedules Def. A reduced schedule is a schedule that only inserts an item into the cache in a step in which that item is requested. Intuition. Can transform an unreduced schedule into a reduced one with no more cache misses. ax an unreduced schedule c adc adb acb axb acb abc abc a c d a b c a a ab a reduced schedule c abc adc adc adb acb acb acb a c d a b c a a abc a abc a

29 Reduced Eviction Schedules Claim. Given any unreduced schedule S, can transform it into a reduced schedule S' with no more cache misses. Pf. (by induction on number of unreduced items) n Suppose S brings d into the cache at time t, without a request. n Let c be the item S evicts when it brings d into the cache. n Case 1: d evicted at time t', before next request for d. n Case 2: d requested at time t' before d is evicted. ▪ t t' d c t c S' d S d requested at time t' t t' d c t c S' e S d evicted at time t', before next request e doesn't enter cache at requested time Case 1Case 2

30 Farthest-In-Future: Analysis Theorem. FF is optimal eviction algorithm. Pf. (by induction on number or requests j) Let S be reduced schedule that satisfies invariant through j requests. We produce S' that satisfies invariant after j+1 requests. n Consider (j+1) st request d = d j+1. n Since S and S FF have agreed up until now, they have the same cache contents before request j+1. n Case 1: (d is already in the cache). S' = S satisfies invariant. n Case 2: (d is not in the cache and S and S FF evict the same element). S' = S satisfies invariant. Invariant: There exists an optimal reduced schedule S that makes the same eviction schedule as S FF through the first j+1 requests.

31 j Farthest-In-Future: Analysis Pf. (continued) n Case 3: (d is not in the cache; S FF evicts e; S evicts f  e). – begin construction of S' from S by evicting e instead of f – now S' agrees with S FF on first j+1 requests; we show that having element f in cache is no worse than having element e samef fee SS' j samed fde SS' j+1

32 Farthest-In-Future: Analysis Let j' be the first time after j+1 that S and S' take a different action, and let g be item requested at time j'. n Case 3a: g = e. Can't happen with Farthest-In-Future since there must be a request for f before e. n Case 3b: g = f. Element f can't be in cache of S, so let e' be the element that S evicts. – if e' = e, S' accesses f from cache; now S and S' have same cache – if e'  e, S' evicts e' and brings e into the cache; now S and S' have the same cache same e f SS' j' Note: S' is no longer reduced, but can be transformed into a reduced schedule that agrees with S FF through step j+1 must involve e or f (or both)

33 Farthest-In-Future: Analysis Let j' be the first time after j+1 that S and S' take a different action, and let g be item requested at time j'. n Case 3c: g  e, f. S must evict e. Make S' evict f; now S and S' have the same cache. ▪ same g g SS' j' otherwise S' would take the same action same e f SS' j' must involve e or f (or both)

34 Caching Perspective Online vs. offline algorithms. n Offline: full sequence of requests is known a priori. n Online (reality): requests are not known in advance. n Caching is among most fundamental online problems in CS. LIFO. Evict page brought in most recently. LRU. Evict page whose most recent access was earliest. Theorem. FF is optimal offline eviction algorithm. n Provides basis for understanding and analyzing online algorithms. n LRU is k-competitive. [Section 13.8] n LIFO is arbitrarily bad. FF with direction of time reversed!

39 Dijkstra's Algorithm: Proof of Correctness Invariant. For each node u  S, d(u) is the length of the shortest s-u path. Pf. (by induction on |S|) Base case: |S| = 1 is trivial. Inductive hypothesis: Assume true for |S| = k  1. n Let v be next node added to S, and let u-v be the chosen edge. n The shortest s-u path plus (u, v) is an s-v path of length  (v). n Consider any s-v path P. We'll see that it's no shorter than  (v). n Let x-y be the first edge in P that leaves S, and let P' be the subpath to x. n P is already too long as soon as it leaves S.

52 Edsger W. Dijkstra The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim. Do only what only you can do. In their capacity as a tool, computers will be but a ripple on the surface of our culture. In their capacity as intellectual challenge, they are without precedent in the cultural history of mankind. The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offence. APL is a mistake, carried through to perfection. It is the language of the future for the programming techniques of the past: it creates a new generation of coding bums.
