Colored Markov Modulated Fluid Queues
Benny Van Houdt
Markov-modulated fluid queues (MMFQs) are a powerful modeling framework for analyzing the performance of computer and communication systems. Their distinguishing feature is that th…
Performance Analysis of Load Balancing Policies with Memory
Tim Hellemans, Benny Van Houdt
Joining the shortest or least loaded queue among randomly selected queues are two fundamental load balancing policies. Under both policies the dispatcher does not maintain any…
Global attraction of ODE-based mean field models with hyperexponential job sizes
Benny Van Houdt
Mean field modeling is a popular approach to assess the performance of large scale computer systems. The evolution of many mean field models is characterized by a set of ordinary d…
On the Power-of-d-choices with Least Loaded Server Selection
Tim Hellemans, Benny Van Houdt
Motivated by distributed schedulers that combine the power-of-d-choices with late binding and systems that use replication with cancellation-on-start, we study the performance of t…
