Robust control of an M/G/1 processor sharing queue with applications to energy management
January 2024 • Tuan Van Dinh, Lachlan L. H. Andrew, Yoni Nazarathy
The Internet contains many devices that must process multiple jobs at the same time. For many purposes, such devices can be modelled as M/G/1-PS queues. This report investigates such a queue. We consider single-pass, lossless, queueing systems at steady-state subject to Poisson job arrivals at an unknown rate. Service rates are in general allowed to depend on the number of jobs in the system, i.e. speed-scaling. A general goal is to control the state dependent service rates such that both energy consumption and de…
