Applications in cloud platforms motivate the study of efficient load balancing under job-server constraints and server heterogeneity. In this paper, we study load balancing on a bipartite graph where left nodes correspond to job types and…
Cloud-based serverless computing is an increasingly popular computing paradigm. In this paradigm, different services have diverse computing requirements that justify deploying an inconsistently Heterogeneous Computing (HC) system to…
This paper concerns the recurrence structure of the infinite server queue, as viewed through the prism of the maximum dater sequence, namely the time to drain the current work in the system as seen at arrival epochs. Despite the importance…
This paper proposes a spatiotemporal graph neural network-based performance prediction algorithm to address the challenge of forecasting performance fluctuations in distributed backend systems with multi-level service call structures. The…
Recent development of peer-to-peer (P2P) services (e.g. streaming, file sharing, and storage) systems introduces a new type of queue systems that receive little attention before, where both job and server arrive and depart randomly. Current…
Multiserver-job (MSJ) systems, where jobs need to run concurrently across many servers, are increasingly common in practice. The default service ordering in many settings is First-Come First-Served (FCFS) service. Virtually all theoretical…
Stochastic Processing Networks (SPNs) can be used to model communication networks, manufacturing systems, service systems, etc. We consider a real-time SPN where tasks generate jobs with strict deadlines according to their traffic patterns.…
We consider an infinite server queue where the arrival and the service rates are both modulated by a stochastic environment governed by an $S$-valued stochastic process $X$ that is ergodic with a limiting measure $\pi\in \mathcal{P}(S)$.…
In a large-scale computing cluster, the job completions can be substantially delayed due to two sources of variability, namely, variability in the job size and that in the machine service capacity. To tackle this issue, existing works have…
Multi-Class Processing Networks describe a set of servers that perform multiple classes of jobs on different items. A useful and tractable way to find an optimal control for such a network is to approximate it by a fluid model, resulting in…
We consider the problem of scheduling in multi-class, parallel-server queuing systems with uncertain rewards from job-server assignments. In this scenario, jobs incur holding costs while awaiting completion, and job-server assignments yield…
This paper considers a parallel system of queues fed by independent arrival streams, where the service rate of each queue depends on the number of customers in all of the queues. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the…
We consider many-server queueing systems with heterogeneous exponential servers and renewal arrivals. The service rate of each server is a random variable drawn from a given distribution. We develop a framework for analyzing the heavy…
Recently multiserver queues with setup times have been extensively studied because they have applications in power-saving data centers. The most challenging model is the M/M/$c$/Setup queue where a server is turned off when it is idle and…
We study the multiserver-job setting in the load-focused multilevel scaling limit, where system load approaches capacity much faster than the growth of the number of servers $n$. We consider the ``1 and $n$'' system, where each job requires…
As Mobility as a Service (MaaS) systems become increasingly popular, travel is changing from unimodal trips to personalized services offered by a platform of mobility operators. Evaluation of MaaS platforms depends on modeling both user…
We consider a system with $N$ parallel servers where incoming jobs are immediately replicated to, say, $d$ servers. Each of the $N$ servers has its own queue and follows a FCFS discipline. As soon as the first job replica is completed, the…
In this paper, we characterize the network stability region (capacity region) of multi-queue multi-server (MQMS) queueing systems with stationary channel distribution and stationary arrival processes. The stability region is specified by a…
The goal of this paper is to establish a general approach for analyzing queueing models with repeated inhomogeneous vacations. The server goes on for a vacation if the inactivity prolongs more than the vacation trigger duration. Once the…
In queuing theory and related problems, it is very important to know the numerical characteristics of an investigated system - both in stationary and non-stationary modes. In some cases, such characteristics can be calculated, but this is…
