Abstract

We study the problem of computing a preemptive schedule of equal-length jobs with given release times, deadlines and weights. Our goal is to maximize the weighted throughput. In Graham's notation this problem is described as (1|r"j;p"j=p;pmtn|@?w"jU"j). We provide an O(n^4)-time algorithm, improving the previous bound of O(n^1^0).
