A note on the benefits of buffering
نویسنده
چکیده
Gaussian traffic models are capable of representing a broad variety of correlation structures, ranging from short-range dependent (e.g. Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type) to long-range dependent (e.g. fractional Brownian motion, with Hurst parameter H exceeding 1/2). This note focuses on queues fed by a large number (n) of Gaussian sources, emptied at constant service rate nc. In particular, we consider the probability of exceeding buffer level nb, as a function of b. This probability decaying (asymptotically) exponentially in n, the essential information is contained in the exponential decay rate I(b). The main result of this note describes the duality relation between the shape of I(.) and the correlation structure. More specifically, it is shown that the curve I(\cdot) is convex at some buffer size b if and only if there are negative correlations on the time scale at which the overflow takes place. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60K25

An Improvement in WRP Block Replacement Policy with Reviewing and Solving its Problems
One of the most important items for better file system performance is efficient buffering of disk blocks in main memory. Efficient buffering helps to reduce the widespeed gap between main memory and hard disks. In this buffering system, the block replacement policy is one of the most important design decisions that determines which disk block should be replaced when the buffer is full. To o...

The response of blood buffering capacity and H+ regulation to three types of recovery during repeated high-intensity endurance training
Background/aim: Many studies were shown the effect of type's recovery on performance. Active recovery has been reported by some to promote greater exercise capacity, while others have not confirmed these results. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of three types of recovery during repeated high-intensity endurance training on blood buffering capacity and H+ regulation. Desig...
