We study delay of jobs that consist of multiple parallel tasks, which is a critical performance metric in a wide range of applications such as data file retrieval in coded storage systems and parallel computing. In this problem, each job is…

Large language models now serve millions of users daily, with providers incurring costs exceeding $700,000 per day. Each request requires token-by-token inference, making GPU scheduling central to latency, capacity, and cost. The difficulty…

Queueing networks are typically modelled assuming that the arrival process is exogenous, and unaffected by admission control, scheduling policies, etc. In many situations, however, users choose the time of their arrival strategically,…

Motivated by the Quality-of-Service (QoS) buffer management problem, we consider online scheduling of packets with hard deadlines in a finite capacity queue. At any time, a queue can store at most $b \in \mathbb Z^+$ packets. Packets arrive…

We consider a switched network, a fairly general constrained queueing network model that has been used successfully to model the detailed packet-level dynamics in communication networks, such as input-queued switches and wireless networks.…

This paper serves as a companion to "Asymptotic Product-form Steady-state for Multiclass Queueing Networks with SBP Service Policies in Multi-scale Heavy Traffic." In this short paper, we illustrate the main results of the main paper…

A classical result for the steady-state queue-length distribution of single-class queueing systems is the following: the distribution of the queue length just before an arrival epoch equals the distribution of the queue length just after a…

This paper studies the limiting behavior of a closed queueing network with multiple single-server and infinite-server stations. Under a heavy traffic asymptotic regime$\unicode{x2014}$where the number of jobs and single-server service rates…

Given a random variable $N$ with values in ${\mathbb{N}}$, and $N$ i.i.d. positive random variables $\{\mu_k\}$, we consider a queue with renewal arrivals and $N$ exponential servers, where server $k$ serves at rate $\mu_k$, under two work…

Under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) discipline, jobs arriving later at a class always receive priority of service over earlier arrivals at any class belonging to the same station. Subcritical LIFO queueing networks with Poisson external…

We consider the serve-the-longest-queue discipline for a multiclass queue with buffers of equal size, operating under (i) the conventional and (ii) the Halfin-Whitt heavy traffic regimes, and show that while the queue length process'…

The residual queue during a given study period (e.g., peak hour) is an important feature that should be considered when solving a traffic assignment problem under equilibrium for strategic traffic planning. Although studies have focused…

We consider a join-the-shortest-queue model which is as follows. There are $K$ single FIFO servers and $M$ arrival processes. The customers from a given arrival process can be served only by servers from a certain subset of all servers. The…

We consider an M/M/N/K/FCFS system (N>0, K>=N), where the servers operate at (possibly) heterogeneous service rates. In this situation, the steady state behavior depends on the routing policy that is used to select which idle server serves…
