Abstract
Motivated by distributed schedulers that combine the power-of-d-choices with late binding and systems that use replication with cancellation-on-start, we study the performance of the LL(d) policy which assigns a job to a server that currently has the least workload among d randomly selected servers in large-scale homogeneous clusters. We consider general job size distributions and propose a partial integro-differential equation to describe the evolution of the system. This equation relies on the earlier proven ansatz for LL(d) which asserts that the workload distribution of any finite set of queues becomes independent of one another as the number of servers tends to infinity. Based on this equation we propose a fixed point iteration for the limiting workload distribution and study its convergence.
