IDEA
How about using SRPT instead of PS in web servers?
Linux 0.S.
WEBSERVER(Apache)
client 1
client 2
client 3
“Get File 1”
“Get File 2”
“Get File 3”
Internet
5
Many servers receive mostly static web requests.
“GET FILE”
For static web requests, know file size
Approx. know service requirement of request.
Immediate Objections
1) Can’t assume known job size
2) But the big jobs will starve ...

THEORY SRPT has a long history ...
1966 Schrage & Miller derive M/G/1/SRPT response time:
1968 Schrage proves optimality
1979 Pechinkin & Solovyev & Yashkov generalize
1990 Schassberger derives distribution on queue length
BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

THEORYSRPT has a long history (cont.)1990 - 97 7-year long study at Univ. of Aachen under Schreiber SRPT WINS BIG ON MEAN!
1998, 1999 Slowdown for SRPT under adversary: Rajmohan, Gehrke, Muthukrishnan, Rajaraman, Shaheen, Bender, Chakrabarti, etc. SRPT STARVES BIG JOBS!
Various o.s. books: Silberschatz, Stallings, Tannenbaum: Warn about starvation of big jobs ...
Kleinrock’s Conservation Law: “Preferential treatment given to one class of customers is afforded at the expense of other customers.”

What does SRPT mean within a Web server?
• Many devices: Where to do the scheduling?
• No longer one job at a time.

Preliminary Comments
• Job throughput, byte throughput, and bandwidth utilization were same under SRPT and FAIR scheduling.
• Same set of requests complete.
• No additional CPU overhead under SRPT scheduling. Network was bottleneck in all experiments.

SRPT scheduling is a promising solution for reducing
mean response time seen by clients, particularly when the load at server bottleneck is high, or under transient overload conditions.
SRPT results in negligible or zero unfairness to large requests.
SRPT is easy to implement and efficient. No CPU overhead. No drop in throughput.
Results corroborated via implementation and analysis.

What is bottleneck resource?
• IBM DB2 -- Lock waiting time (yellow) is bottleneck.• Therefore, need to schedule lock queues to have impact.
