Effect of queueing disciplines on response times in distributed systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6773573
A distributed program consists of processes, many of which can execute concurrently on different processors in a distributed system of processors. When several processes from the same or different distributed programs have been assigned to a processor in a distributed system, the processor must select the next process to run. The question investigated is: What is an appropriate method for selecting the next process to run. Standard processor queueing disciplines, such as first-come-first-serve and round-robin-fixed-quantum, are studied. The results for four classes of queueing disciplines tested on three problems are presented. These problems were run on a testbed, consisting of a compiler and simulator used to run distributed programs on user-specified architectures.
