In this paper, we present surplus fair scheduling (SFS), a proportional-share CPU scheduler designed for symmetric multiprocessors. We first show that the infeasibility of certain...
In current multiprogrammed multiprocessor systems, to take into account the performance of parallel applications is critical to decide an efficient processor allocation. In this pa...
