Abstract

Cloud computing facilitates the access of applications and data from any location by a distributed storage system. Erasure codes offer better data replication technique with reduced storage costs for more reliability. This paper considers the erasure-coded data center with multiple servers in a wireless network where each is equipped with a base-station. The cause of latency in the file retrieval process is mainly due to queuing delays at each server. This work puts forth a stochastic optimization framework for obtaining the optimal scheduling policy that maximizes users' quality of service (QoS) while adhering to the latency requirements. We further show that the problem has non-linear functions of expectations in objective and constraints and is impossible to solve with traditional SGD like algorithms. We propose a new algorithm that addresses compositional structure in the problem. Further, we show that the proposed algorithm achieves a faster convergence rate than the best-known results. Finally, we test the efficacy of the proposed method in a simulated environment.
