Abstract
The purpose of this note is to show that it is possible to establish a many-server functional strong law of large numbers (FSLLN) for the fraction of occupied servers (i.e., the scaled number-in-system) without explicitly tracking either the age or the residual service times of the jobs in a non-Markovian, non-stationary loss model. This considerable analytical simplification is achieved by exploiting a semimartingale representation. The fluid limit is shown to be the unique solution of a Volterra integral equation.
