The equivalence between processor sharing and service in random order
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note we explore a useful equivalence relation for the delay distribution in the G/M/1 queue under two different service disciplines: (i) PS (Processor Sharing); and (ii) ROS (Random Order of Service). We provide a direct probabilistic argument to show that the sojourn time under PS is equal (in distribution) to the waiting time under ROS of a customer arriving to a non-empty system. We thus conclude that the sojourn time distribution for PS is related to the waiting-time distribution for ROS through a simple multiplicative factor, which corresponds to the probability of a non-empty system at an arrival instant. We verify that previously derived expressions for the sojourn time distribution in the M/M/1 PS queue and the waiting-time distribution in the M/M/1 ROS queue are indeed identical, up to a multiplicative constant. The probabilistic nature of the argument enables us to extend the equivalence result to more general models, such as the M/M/1/K queue and ·/M/1 nodes in product-form networks.

On the equivalence between multiclass PS-type scheduling policies
Consider a single server queue serving a multiclass population. Some popular scheduling policies for such a system (and of interest in this paper) are the discriminatory processor sharing (DPS), discriminatory random order service (DROS), generalized processor sharing (GPS) and weighted fair queueing (WFQ). The aim of this paper is to show a certain equivalence between these scheduling policies...
متن کاملQueues with Equally Heavy Sojourn Time and Service Requirement Distributions
For the GGGG1 queue with First-Come First-Served, it is well known that the tail of the sojourn time distribution is heavier than the tail of the service requirement distribution when the latter has a regularly varying tail. In contrast, for the MMGG1 queue with Processor Sharing, Zwart and Boxma 26 showed that under the same assumptions on the service requirement distribution, the two tails ar...
متن کاملTacit Knowledge Sharing among Public Librarians: Case of Fars Province
Purpose: A library and information specialist cannot rely only on his academic views. He can perform his job successfully only when he has access to his colleagues' scientific knowledge which is based on their experiences and uses it alongside his own knowledge. Therefore, it is essential and necessary to identify the ways of transferring the tacit knowledge of librarians and the factors affect...
متن کاملSojourn Times in Non-Homogeneous QBD Processes with Processor Sharing
We study sojourn times of customers in a processor sharing model with a service rate that varies over time, depending on the number of customers and on the state of a random environment. An explicit expression is derived for the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the sojourn time conditional on the state upon arrival and the amount of work brought into the system. Particular attention is given to t...
متن کاملAsymptotic behavior of generalized processor sharing queues under subexponential assumptions
We analyze the behavior of Generalized Processor Sharing (GPS) queues with heavy-tailed service times. We compute the exact tail asymptotics of the stationary workload of an individual class and give new conditions for reduced-load equivalence and induced burstiness to hold. We also show that both phenomena can occur simultaneously. Our proofs rely on the single big event theorem and new fluid ...
