In this survey we provide an overview of recent advances on scalable load balancing
schemes which provide favorable delay performance and yet require minimal …

Applications in cloud platforms motivate the study of efficient load balancing under job-
server constraints and server heterogeneity. In this paper, we study load balancing on a …

This paper studies the steady-state properties of the join-the-shortest-queue model in the
Halfin–Whitt regime. We focus on the process tracking the number of idle servers and the …

We describe a fluid model with time-varying input that approximates a multiclass many-
server queue with impatient customers and time-varying arrivals (specifically, the multiclass …

We study a class of load-balancing algorithms for many-server systems (N servers). Each
server has a buffer of size (ra positive integer). The proof of the main result is based on the …

A pivotal methodological tool behind the analysis of large-scale load balancing systems is
mean-field analysis. The high-level idea is to represent the system state by aggregate …

Load balancing algorithms play a vital role in enhancing performance in data centers and
cloud networks. Due to the massive size of these systems, scalability challenges, and …

This paper studies load balancing for many‐server (N servers) systems. Each server has a
buffer of size b− 1, and can have at most one job in service and b− 1 jobs in the buffer. The …

We study a load balancing system in the many-server heavy-traffic regime. We consider a
system with N servers, where jobs arrive to the system according to a Poisson process and …

This paper considers the steady-state performance of load balancing algorithms in a many-
server system with distributed queues. The system has servers, and each server maintains a …
