Size-independent vs. size-dependent policies in scheduling heavy-tailed distributions
… a two-machine distributed server, where the job size distribution is heavy-tailed. We focus on two distributions, for which we prove that the performance of the optimal size-independent policy is asymptotically worse than that of a simple size-dependent policy. First, we consider a simple …
