Abstract

This paper investigates various ways in which the triple trade-off metrics between task response time, subtask dispersion and energy can be improved in split-merge queueing systems. Four ideas (dynamic subtask dispersion reduction, state dependant service times, restarting subtask service and multiple subtask service servers) are examined in the paper. It turns out that all four techniques can be used to improve the triple trade-off and the paper offers improved benchmarks to compared to existing techniques.
