In addition to providing small mean response times, modern applications seek to provide users predictable service and, in some cases, Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. In order...
It is common to evaluate scheduling policies based on their mean response times. Another important, but sometimes opposing, performance metric is a scheduling policy’s fairness....
This paper uses a probe-based sampling approach to study the behavioural properties of Web server scheduling strategies, such as Processor Sharing (PS) and Shortest Remaining Proc...
This paper uses trace-driven simulation to study the unfairness properties of Web server scheduling strategies, such as Processor Sharing (PS) and Shortest Remaining Processing Ti...
