This paper proposes a new scheduling algorithm named DRRA (Deficit Round Robin Alternated) that achieves an improvement in the uniform distribution of the output traffic respect to the existent DRR (Deficit Round Robin) algorithm. This work is embraced into a line of research that intends to provide Ethernet users with the quality of service of ATM. To achieve this, an architecture called “Cell...

Previous downlink scheduling algorithms of WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), like DRR (Deficit Round-Robin) and WRR (Weighted Round-Robin), usually reserve minimum rate to each type of traffic and cannot consider the status of queue length of each connection, thus making it unsuitable for VoIP on-off traffic model. One well-designed scheduling algorithm is expected to coo...

CPU scheduling is one of the most primary and essential part of any operating system. It prioritizes processes to efficiently execute the user requests and help in choosing the appropriate process for execution. Round Robin (RR) & Priority Scheduling(PS) are one of the most widely used and acceptable CPU scheduling algorithm. But, its performance degrades with respect to turnaround time, waitin...

With the continuous expansion of the cloud computing platform scale and rapid growth of users and applications, how to efficiently use system resources to improve the overall performance of cloud computing has become a crucial issue. To address this issue, this paper proposes a method that uses an analytic hierarchy process group decision (AHPGD) to evaluate the load state of server nodes. Trai...

In active networks, much processing power is required for the execution of packet processing code that is carried in or referenced by active packets. In high-bandwidth environments the processor performing this active processing poses a bottleneck. We present a processor scheduling algorithm called Feedback De cit Round Robin (FDRR) that reduces the overhead for fair scheduling and context swit...
