如何使用LINQ to Objects计划不重叠的作业?

标签: c# .net linq indexing clr

这是另一个资源分配问题。我的目标是运行查询以将任何时隙的最高优先级作业分配给两个CPU核心之一(仅作为示例,因此我们假设没有中断或多任务处理)。注意:这与my earlier post about partitioning类似,但重点关注重叠时间和分配多个项目,而不仅仅是最高优先级项目。

这是我们的目标:

public class Job
{
    public int Id;
    public int Priority;
    public DateTime Begin;
    public DateTime End;
}

真正的数据集非常大,但是对于这个例子,假设有1000个作业要分配给两个CPU核心。它们都被加载到内存中,我需要针对它们运行单个LINQ to Objects查询。目前这需要近8秒和140万次比较。

我利用this post中引用的逻辑来确定两个项目是否重叠,但与该帖子不同,我不仅需要查找重叠项目,还要安排任何重叠集合的顶部项目,然后安排下一个。

在我开始编写代码之前,让我指出当前inneficient算法的步骤:

  1. 确定剩余的作业(通过删除任何已分配的作业)
  2. 通过自行加入所有剩余作业并按优先级选择最重叠的作业,将作业分配给当前核心。
  3. 通过执行查询来连接新作业
  4. 从每个剩余核心的Stop 1开始重复

问题:

  • 如何最有效地完成这项工作?
  • 我可以避免步骤2中的子查询吗?也许是通过分组,但我不确定如何基于.Overlaps()扩展方法进行分组。
  • 这些工作已经订购。第2步可以利用这个事实,只与短期内的项目进行比较而不是每一项工作吗?
  • 分配核心而不是循环更有效吗?这可以避免在步骤3中执行查询?同样,如果我可以对多组重叠作业进行分组,那么分配核心只是选择每个重叠集合的N.

完整示例代码:

public class Job
{
    public static long Iterations;

    public int Id;
    public int Priority;
    public DateTime Begin;
    public DateTime End;

    public bool Overlaps(Job other)
    {
        Iterations++;
        return this.End > other.Begin && this.Begin < other.End;
    }

        const int Priorities = Cores + 3;
        DateTime startTime = new DateTime(2011, 3, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} Jobs x {1} Cores", Jobs, Cores));

            jobs.Add(new Job() { Id = jobId, Priority = jobId % Priorities, Begin = jobStart, End = jobStart.AddHours(0.5) });

            // Step 2: Assign the top priority job in any time-slot to the core
            var assignmentsForCore = from s1 in remainingJobs
                              where
                                  (from s2 in remainingJobs

                                   select s2).First().Equals(s1)
                              select new Assignment { Job = s1, Core = localCore };

            // Step 3: Accumulate the results (unfortunately requires a .ToList() to avoid massive over-joins)
            assignments = assignments == null ? assignmentsForCore.ToList() : assignments.Concat(assignmentsForCore.ToList());
        }

        // This is where I'd like to Execute the query one single time across all cores, but have to do intermediate steps to avoid massive-over-joins
        assignments = assignments.ToList();

        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Completed in {0:n}ms", timer.ElapsedMilliseconds));
        Console.WriteLine("\nJobs:");
        foreach (var job in jobs.Take(20))

是否有理由将linq用于此任务的对象集合?我认为我会创建一个活动列表,将所有作业放入队列中,并在活动列表低于10时将下一个作业弹出队列并将其粘贴到活动列表中。很容易跟踪哪个核心正在执行哪个任务,并将队列中的下一个任务分配给最不忙的核心。将已完成的事件连接到作业或仅监视活动列表,您将知道何时从队列中弹出另一个作业并进入活动列表。
