Simple analytic modeling of software contention
Being able to model contention for software resources (e.g., a critical section or database lock) is paramount to building performance models that capture all aspects of the delay...

The Stochastic Machine Replenishment Problem
We study the stochastic machine replenishment problem, which is a canonical special case of closed multiclass queuing systems in Markov decision theory. The problem models the sche...

Addressing Queuing Bottlenecks at High Speeds
Modern routers and switch fabrics can have hundreds of input and output ports running at up to 10 Gb/s; 40 Gb/s systems are starting to appear. At these rates, the performance of ...

Exploiting locality to ameliorate packet queue contention and serialization
Packet processing systems maintain high throughput despite relatively high memory latencies by exploiting the coarse-grained parallelism available between packets. In particular, ...

Concurrent counting is harder than queuing
In both distributed counting and queuing, processors in a distributed system issue operations which are organized into a total order. In counting, each processor receives the rank...

Service Time Approximation in IEEE 802.11 Single-Hop Ad-hoc Networks
Abstract— This paper investigates the near-memoryless behavior of the service time for IEEE 802.11 saturated single-hop ad hoc networks. We show that the number of packets succes...
