The average response time in a heavy-traffic srpt queue
Shortest Remaining Processing Time first (SRPT) has long been known to optimize the queue length distribution and the mean response time (a.k.a. flow time, sojourn time). As such,...

Finding the optimal quantum size: Sensitivity analysis of the M/G/1 round-robin queue
We consider the round robin (RR) scheduling policy where the server processes each job in its buffer for at most a fixed quantum, q, in a round-robin fashion. The processor sharin...

How many servers are best in a dual-priority M/PH/k system?
We ask the question, "for minimizing mean response time (sojourn time), which is preferable: one fast server of speed 1, or k slow servers each of speed 1/k?" Our settin...

Classifying scheduling policies with respect to unfairness in an M/GI/1
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....

Self-adaptive admission control policies for resource-sharing systems
We consider the problem of admission control in resource sharing systems, such as web servers and transaction processing systems, when the job size distribution has high variabili...

Competitive Two-Level Adaptive Scheduling Using Resource Augmentation
Abstract. As multi-core processors proliferate, it has become more important than ever to ensure efficient execution of parallel jobs on multiprocessor systems. In this paper, we s...
