Abstract

Motivated by applications in computer and communication systems, we consider a processor-sharing queue where the number of jobs served is not larger than K. We propose a measure-valued fluid model for this limited processor-sharing queue and show that there exists a unique associated fluid model solution. In addition, we show that this fluid model arises as the limit of a sequence of appropriately scaled processor-sharing queues.
