Open problems in queueing theory inspired by datacenter computing
M Harchol-Balter - Queueing Systems, 2021 - Springer
Datacenter operations today provide a plethora of new queueing and scheduling problems.
The notion of a “job” has become more general and multi-dimensional. The ways in which …

WCFS: A new framework for analyzing multiserver systems
Multiserver queueing systems are found at the core of a wide variety of practical systems.
Many important multiserver models have a previously-unexplained similarity: identical mean …

Analysis of a queueing system with mixed service discipline
In this paper, we analyse a queueing model with two types of requests arriving in a marked
Markov arrival process. Type-1 requests require a constant service rate, while type-2 …

Queue scheduling with adversarial bandit learning
In this paper, we study scheduling of a queueing system with zero knowledge of
instantaneous network conditions. We consider a one-hop single-server queueing system …

On the Performance of Large Loss Systems with Adaptive Multiserver Jobs
In this paper, we study systems where each job or request can be split into a flexible number
of sub-jobs up to a maximum limit. The number of sub-jobs a job is split into depends on the …

Optimal Scheduling in Multiserver Queues
I Grosof - ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review, 2024 - dl.acm.org
Scheduling theory is a key tool for reducing latency (ie response time) in queueing systems.
Scheduling, ie choosing the order in which to serve jobs, can reduce response time by an …
