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,...

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...

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...

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....

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...

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...
