We consider a system with Poisson arrivals and i.i.d. service times. The requests are served according to the state-dependent processor sharing discipline, where each request receives a service capacity which depends on the actual number of requests in the system. The linear systems of PDEs describing the residual and attained sojourn times coincide for this system, which provides time reversibility including sojourn times for this system, and their minimal non negative solution gives the LST of the sojourn time $V(\tau)$ of a request with required service time $\tau$. For the case that the service time distribution is exponential in a neighborhood of zero, we derive a linear system of ODEs, whose minimal non negative solution gives the LST of $V(\tau)$, and which yields linear systems of ODEs for the moments of $V(\tau)$ in the considered neighborhood of zero. Numerical results are presented for the variance of $V(\tau)$. In case of an M/GI/2-PS system, the LST of $V(\tau)$ is given in terms of the solution of a convolution equation in the considered neighborhood of zero. For bounded from below service times, surprisingly simple expressions for the LST and variance of $V(\tau)$ in this neighborhood of zero are derived, which yield in particular the LST and variance of $V(\tau)$ in M/D/2-PS.
We consider a system with Poisson arrivals and i.i.d. service times and where the requests are served according to the state-dependent (Cohen's generalized) processor sharing discipline, where each request in the system receives a service capacity which depends on the actual number of requests in the system. For this system we derive asymptotically tight upper bounds for the moments of the conditional sojourn time of a request with given required service time. The bounds generalize corresponding results, recently given for the single-server processor sharing system by Cheung et al. and for the state-dependent processor sharing system with exponential service times by the authors. Analogous results hold for the waiting times.
We consider a system where the arrivals form a Poisson process and the required service times of the requests are exponentially distributed. According to the generalized processor sharing discipline, each request in the system receives a fraction of the capacity of one processor which depends on the actual number of requests in the system. We derive systems of ordinary differential equations for the LST and for the moments of the conditional waiting time of a request with given required service time as well as a stable and fast recursive algorithm for the LST of the second moment of the conditional waiting time, which in particular yields the second moment of the unconditional waiting time. Moreover, asymptotically tight upper bounds for the moments of the conditional waiting time are given. The presented numerical results for the first two moments of the sojourn times in the $M/M/m-PS$ system show that the proposed algorithms work well.
We consider a multi-queue multi-server system with $n$ servers (processors) and $m$ queues. At the system there arrives a stationary and ergodic stream of $m$ different types of requests with service requirements which are served according to the following $k$-limited head of the line processor sharing discipline: The first $k$ requests at the head of the $m$ queues are served in processor sharing by the $n$ processors, where each request may receive at most the capacity of one processor. By means of sample path analysis and Loynes' monotonicity method, a stationary and ergodic state process is constructed, and a necessary as well as a sufficient condition for the stability of the $m$ separate queues are given, which are tight within the class of all stationary ergodic inputs. These conditions lead to tight necessary and sufficient conditions for the whole system, also in case of permanent customers, generalizing an earlier result by the authors for the case of $n$=$k$=1.
For the general G/G/1 processor sharing (PS) system a sample path result for the sojourn times in a busy period is proved, which yields a relation between the sojourn times under PS and FCFS discipline. In particular, the result provides a formula for the mean sojourn time in G/D/1-PS in terms of the mean sojourn time in the corresponding G/D/1-FCFS, generalizing known results for GI/M/1 and M/GI/1. Extensions of the formula provide the basis for a two-moment approximation of the mean sojourn time in G/GI/1-PS in terms of a related G/D/1-FCFS.
Two traffic streams $\Phi_1$, $\Phi_2$ are offered a link. The calls of $\Phi_i$ require exponential holding times with parameter $\mu$ and are accepted if less than $C_i$ trunks are occupied. Approximating the $\Phi_i$ by appropriate renewal processes meeting their first two moments, defined as the moments of the numbers of calls in virtual links of infinite capacity to which the traffic streams as freed traffics are virtually directed and where the calls get fresh exponential i.i.d.\ holding times with parameter $\mu$, stable recursive algorithms of complexity $O(\max(C_1,C_2))$ are derived for the first two defined as above moments of the individual overflow and freed carried traffics. The results offer a unified handling of both overflow and carried traffics in circuit switching networks with trunk reservation, providing a basis for new two-moment network dimensioning algorithms.
In circuit switching networks call streams are characterized by their mean and peakedness (two-moment method). The $GI/M/C/0$ system is used to model a single link, where the $GI$-stream is determined by fitting moments appropriately. For the moments of the overflow traffic of a $GI/M/C/0$ system there are efficient numerical algorithms available. However, for the moments of the freed carried traffic, defined as the moments of a virtual link of infinite capacity to which the process of calls accepted by the link (carried arrival process) is virtually directed and where the virtual calls get fresh exponential i.i.d.\ holding times, only complex numerical algorithms are available. This is the reason why the concept of the freed carried traffic is not used rigorously. The main result of this paper is an efficient algorithm for computing the moments of the freed carried traffic, in particular an explicit formula for its peakedness. This result offers a unified handling of both overflow and carried traffics in networks. Furthermore, some refined characteristics for the overflow and freed carried streams are derived.
In this paper for the $M(n)/M(n)/s+GI$ system, i.e.\ for a $s$-server queueing system where the calls in the queue may leave the system due to impatience, we present new asymptotic results for the intensities of calls leaving the system due to impatience and a Markovian system approximation where these results are applied. Furthermore, we present a new proof for the formulae of the conditional density of the virtual waiting time distributions, recently given by Movaghar for the less general $M(n)/M/s+GI$ system. Also we obtain new explicit expressions for refined virtual waiting time characteristics as a byproduct.
We consider a $s$-server system with two FCFS queues, where the arrival rates at the queues and the service rate may depend on the number $n$ of customers being in service or in the first queue, but the service rate is assumed to be constant for $n>s$. The customers in the first queue are impatient. If the offered waiting time exceeds a random maximal waiting time $I$, then the customer leaves the first queue after time $I$. If $I$ is less than a given deterministic time then he leaves the system else he transits to the end of the second queue. The customers in the first queue have priority. The service of a customer from the second queue will be started if the first queue is empty and more than a given number of servers become idle. For the model being a generalization of the $M(n)/M(n)/s\!+\!GI$ system balance conditions for the density of the stationary state process are derived yielding the stability conditions and the probabilities that precisely $n$ customers are in service or in the first queue. For obtaining performance measures for the second queue a system approximation basing on fitting impatience intensities is constructed. The results are applied to the performance analysis of a call center with an integrated voice-mail-server. For an important special case a stochastic decomposition is derived illuminating the connection to the dynamics of the $M(n)/M(n)/s\!+\!GI$ system.
