摘要:We study online nonclairvoyant speed scaling to minimize total flow time plus energy. We first consider the traditional model where the power function is $P(s)=s^\alpha$. We give a nonclairvoyant algorithm that is shown to be $O(\alpha^3)$-competitive. We then show an $\Omega( \alpha^{1/3-\epsilon} )$ lower bound on the competitive ratio of any nonclairvoyant algorithm. We also show that there are power functions for which no nonclairvoyant algorithm can be $O(1)$-competitive.
