Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Deterministic Two-level Ski-Rental Algorithm DTSR(λs, λc)
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide explicit links to open-source code for the described methodology or state that the code is available.
Open Datasets No The input sequence is generated randomly in this simulation. We set the number of instances as 6. For each single sequence, we generate S tasks. Each task has a unit demand. S is uniformly distributed from 1 to 60. The inter-arrival time of tasks is uniformly distributed in [0, 1].
Dataset Splits No The paper describes simulation settings and sequence generation but does not specify training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification Yes We use Python 3.6.8 with numpy 1.18.1 to conduct the simulation in a laptop with CPU i5-8210Y and Memory 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3.
Software Dependencies Yes We use Python 3.6.8 with numpy 1.18.1 to conduct the simulation in a laptop with CPU i5-8210Y and Memory 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3.
Experiment Setup Yes We set the number of instances as 6. For each single sequence, we generate S tasks. Each task has a unit demand. S is uniformly distributed from 1 to 60. The inter-arrival time of tasks is uniformly distributed in [0, 1].
