Scheduling Mix-flows in Commodity Datacenters with Karuna
Li Chen, Kai Chen, Wei Bai, Mohammad Reza Alizadeh · 2016
Cloud applications generate a mix of flows with and without deadlines. Scheduling such mix-flows is a key challenge; our experiments show that trivially combining existing schemes for deadline/non-deadline flows is problematic. For example, prioritizing deadline flows hurts flow completion time (FCT) for non-deadline flows, with minor improvement for deadline miss rate.
