✦ Synopsis


We provide a competitive analysis framework for online prefetching and buffer management algorithms in parallel IrO systems, using a read-once model of block references. This has widespread applicability to key IrO-bound applications such as external merging and concurrent playback of multiple video streams. Two realistic lookahead models, global lookahead and local lookahead, are defined. Algorithms NOM and GREED, based on these two forms of lookahead are analyzed for shared buffer and distributed buffer configurations, both of which

The online buffer management problem formulates the problem of queuing policies of network switches supporting QoS (Quality of Service) guarantee. We focus on multi-queue switches in QoS networks proposed by Azar et al. To achieve good upper bounds, they introduced so-called "the relaxed model". Als

The online buffer management problem formulates the problem of queueing policies of network switches supporting QoS (Quality of Service) guarantee. For this problem, several models are considered. In this paper, we focus on shared memory switches with preemption. We prove that the competitive ratio
