Meeting minutes 2019-08-13

What did we talk about

• Get ready for demo and interview on Thursday
  • Go in early to prepare
  • Bunch of input DOT files - different kinds
  • Demo the different algorithms
  • Algorithm selection option in command line
    • Brute-force
    • A*
  • Basic timings would be good to see
  • Making a separate branch for the demo stuff
• Selection of algorithms
  • Ready for Friday - do some coding and have a go
• Optimisation
  • Choosing a good heuristic (probably maximum of multiple)
  • Duplicate detection and hashing (?)
  • Pruning seach space
  • Preprocessing e.g. fork/join optimization
  • Processor combinations
  • See Sinnen's paper
• Visualisation - ideas
  • Stats: CPU usage, memory etc
  • If Branch and Bound: current best schedule? etc
  • Dashboard of stats

What do we need to do

• By Thursday
  • CLI options with timings etc: Will
  • Demo - using inputs on Canvas
• By Friday
  • Read Sinnen paper and summarise potential optimisations on Wiki - Tony
  • Algorithm research - anyone who wants to
• By Monday ish
  • Solid progress on algorithm
