Multimachine Scheduling of Equal-Length Jobs to Minimize the total weighted Flow Time,
or P|rj;pj=p;Dj|Σ wjCj
We are given n jobs. Each job has a priority weight, a release time before
which it is not available, a strict deadline by which it has to complete,
and each job has the same processing
time p. We wish to find a feasible non-preemptive schedule on m
processors, which minimizes the weighted sum over the completion times.
This problem was solved by Brucker and Kravchenko (2005), by a linear program, that always has an integer optimum.
