Job Allocation in Large-Scale Service Systems with Affinity Relations
Ellen Cardinaels, Sem C. Borst, Johan S. H. van Leeuwaarden
We consider load balancing in service systems with affinity relations between jobs and servers. Specifically, an arriving job can be allocated to a fast, primary server from a part…
Redundancy scheduling with scaled Bernoulli service requirements
Youri Raaijmakers, Sem Borst, Onno Boxma
Redundancy scheduling has emerged as a powerful strategy for improving response times in parallel-server systems. The key feature in redundancy scheduling is replication of a job u…
Transition time asymptotics of queue-based activation protocols in random-access networks
Sem Borst, Frank den Hollander, Francesca R. Nardi +1
We consider networks where each node represents a server with a queue. An active node deactivates at unit rate. An inactive node activates at a rate that depends on its queue lengt…
Scalable load balancing in networked systems: A survey of recent advances
Mark van der Boor, Sem C. Borst, Johan S. H. van Leeuwaarden +1
The basic load balancing scenario involves a single dispatcher where tasks arrive that must immediately be forwarded to one of single-server queues. We discuss recent advances…
