In the classical energy minimization problem, introduced in [24], we are given a set of n jobs each one characterized by its release date, its deadline, its processing volume and we aim to find a feasible schedule of the jobs on a single speed-scalable machine so that the total energy consumption is minimized. Here, we study the throughput maximization version of the problem where we are given a budget of energy E and where every job has also a value. Our goal is to determine a feasible schedule maximizing the (weighted) throughput of the jobs that are executed between their respective release dates and deadlines. We first consider the preemptive non-migratory multiprocessor case in a fully heterogeneous environment in which every job has a machine-dependent release date, deadline and processing volume and every machine obeys to a different speed-to-power function. We present a polynomial time greedy algorithm based on the primal-dual scheme that approximates the optimum solution within a factor depending on the energy functions (the factor is constant for typical energy functions of form class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S030439751600222X&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S030439751600222X&_rdoc=1&_issn=03043975&md5=be4547961df8041ace81969162b50430" title="Click to view the MathML source">P(z)=zαclass="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">). Then, we focus on the non-preemptive case for which we consider a fixed number of identical parallel machines and two important families of instances: (1) equal processing volume jobs; and (2) agreeable jobs. For both cases we present optimal pseudo-polynomial-time algorithms.
