The queue M/G/1 with shortest remaining processing time discipline

Expert InsightsPublished 1965

A priority queueing model in which the processing times of jobs are known upon arrival and preemption without loss of time or processing is already accomplished. Priority is assigned to jobs according to the length of processing remaining with highest priority going to the job with least processing left. A preemption occurs whenever the processing time of newly arriving job is less than the remaining processing time of the job then in service. The Laplace-Stieltjes transforms of the waiting time and time-in-system distributions are obtained and comparisons with other queueing disciplines are made. 27 pp. Bibliog.
