BUD17-218: Scheduler Load tracking update and improvement Linaro
Session ID: BUD17-218
Session Name: Scheduler Load tracking update and improvement - BUD17-218
Speaker: Vincent Guittot
Track: Power Management
★ Session Summary ★
The Per Entity Load Tracking (PELT) is a key stone in tasks placement of the scheduler but suffers of some weakness when it’s not just bugs. During the last LPC, it has been decided to fix all pending issues of PELT before starting to consider another load tracking mechanism for scheduler and/or EAS. This session will show the improvement reached since the last connect and the LPC as well as the next ones. We will also looks at the RT class which lacks a good load tracking.

Introduction 1
Network is a technique used for planning and scheduling of large projects in the fields of construction, maintenance, fabrication, purchasing, computer system instantiation, research and development planning etc. There is multitude of operations research situations that can be modeled and solved as network. Some recent surveys reports that as much as 70% of the real-world mathematical programming problems can be represented by network related models. Network analysis is known by many names _PERT (Programme Evaluation and Review Technique), CPM (Critical Path Method), PEP (Programme Evaluation Procedure), LCES (Least Cost Estimating and Scheduling), SCANS (Scheduling and Control by Automated Network System), etc
This chapter will present three of algorithms.
1. PERT & CPM
2. Shortest- route algorithms
3. Maximum-flow algorithms
Optimization of Time Restriction in Construction Project Management Using Lin...IJERA Editor
This study is an attempt to identify the minimum time of a construction project using the critical path method
and linear programming model. A systematic analysis is attempted by developing a work breakdown structure
for entire project to establish work elements for quantifying various resources against time and cost. A network
is established taking into consideration all the predecessor and successor activities. The network is then
optimized through crashing of activities so as to obtain optimal solution and serves as a base for optimizing total
project cost. Finally, linear programming model is used to formulate the system of crashing network for
minimum time by LINGO model and Microsoft Excel. These models consider many considerations of project
thus reducing the duration of project. Ultimately, comparison of both the software outputs and the manual
calculations is done and the best verifier is determined.

20. Estimation: Prediction made before start of any activity or Project.
Forecast: Prediction made after the start of any activity or Project.
Estimating Techniques 6 Types:
Expert Judgment: Expert judgment, guided by historical information, provides
valuable insight about the environment and information from prior similar projects.
Analogous Estimating: Analogous cost estimating uses the values such as scope, cost,
budget, and duration or measures of scale such as size, weight, and complexity from a
previous, similar project as the basis for estimating the same parameter or
measurement for a current project. When estimating costs, this technique relies on the
actual cost of previous, similar projects as the basis for estimating the cost of the
current project.
Parametric Estimating: Parametric estimating uses a statistical relationship between
relevant historical data and other variables (e.g., square footage in construction) to
calculate a cost estimate for project work. This technique can produce higher levels of
accuracy depending upon the sophistication and underlying data built into the model.
21. Bottom-Up Estimating: Bottom-up estimating is a method of estimating a component of work.
The cost of individual work packages or activities is estimated to the greatest level of specified
detail. The detailed cost is then summarized or “rolled up” to higher levels for subsequent
reporting and tracking purposes. The cost and accuracy of bottom-up cost estimating are typically
influenced by the size and complexity of the individual activity or work package.
Three-Point Estimating:
The accuracy of single-point activity cost estimates may be improved by considering estimation
uncertainty and risk and using three estimates to define an approximate range for an activity’s
cost:
• Most likely (cM). The cost of the activity, based on realistic effort assessment for the required
work and any predicted expenses.
• Optimistic (cO). The activity cost based on analysis of the best-case scenario for the activity.
• Pessimistic (cP). The activity cost based on analysis of the worst-case scenario for the activity
Depending on the assumed distribution:
Triangular Distribution. cE = (cO + cM + cP) / 3
Beta Distribution (from a traditional PERT analysis). cE = (cO + 4cM + cP) / 6 (Standard
Deviation)
Reserve Analysis: The contingency reserve may be a percentage of the estimated cost, a fixed
number, or may be developed by using quantitative analysis methods.
22. PLANNING FOR SUCCESS IS NO SMALL ENDEAVOR.
WHEN DONE WELL, HOWEVER, IT WILL REAP MANY
LARGE REWARDS.

27. Flow of Work: Water Fall Method
The waterfall model is a sequential process, in which progress is seen as
flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases of
Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing,
Production/Implementation and Maintenance.
29. CPM, PERT & CCM:
CPM: The Shortest Duration to complete a project in a Networking Path. The critical
path is the path where the float is zero. Developed by Dupont and Remington Rand in
the 1950’s to manage plant maintenance projects
PERT: Progress Evaluation Review Technique: 3 Point Analysis Estimation (Triangular
Distribution). Developed by Frederick Taylor and Henry Ford in the 1950’s to manage Polaris
Submarine System.
CCM: Critical Chain Method proposed by Eliyahu Goldratt in his book Goal.

Level 4 Schedule Execution Schedule, also called a Project Working Level
Schedule.
Level 5 Schedule Detail Schedule. The further breakdown of the activities of a
Level 4 Schedule.
Level of Schedule:
37. Earned Value Analysis: Budgeted Cost Work Performed by total Work
Once we have made our progress assessment, Earn value analysis tool will automatically
calculate our Earned Value (% complete x Budget for each activity). Various KPI’s (Key
Performance Index) can be calculated such as:
Cost Variance (CV) – The numerical difference between the earned value (BCWP) and
the actual cost (ACWP). CV = BCWP – ACWP.
Schedule Variance (SV) - An indicator of how much a program is ahead of or behind
schedule. SV = BCWP – BCWS. (Earned value – planned budget, or the difference
between the value of work accomplished for a given period and the value of the work
planned). Schedule variance is presented well in chart format.
Cost Performance Index (CPI) – The cost efficiency factor representing the
relationship between the actual cost expended and the earned value. CPI =
BCWP/ACWP. A CPI ≥ 1 suggests a relatively efficient cost factor, while a CPI <1 may be
cause for concern.
Schedule Performance Index (SPI) – The planned schedule efficiency factor
representing the relationship between the earned value and the initial planned
schedule. SPI = BCWP/BCWS. A SPI ≥ 1 is good. SPI < 1 suggests actual work is falling
behind the planned schedule.
38. Budget at Completion (BAC) – Original completion budget for project
Estimate to complete (ETC) – A calculated value, in dollars or hours that
represents the cost of work required to complete remaining project
tasks. ETC = BAC – BCWP.
Estimate at Complete (EAC) – A calculated value, in dollars or hours, that
represents the projected total final costs of work when completed. EAC =
ACWP + ETC.
It is usual to review the progress report at a monthly meeting to decide
where action needs to be taken. EVA will tell you where you have a
problem, and what you need to do to finish the job on time, providing all
stakeholders with a visibility of progress vs plan.
