Abstract

We consider a processor-sharing storage allocation model, which has m primary holding spaces and infinitely many secondary ones, and a single processor servicing the stored items (customers). An arriving customer takes a primary space, if one is available. We define the traffic intensity 驴 to be 驴/μ where 驴 is the customers' arrival rate and μ is the service rate of the processor. We study the joint probability distribution of the numbers of occupied primary and secondary spaces. For 0驴m=1 and m=2. For arbitrary m we study the problem in the asymptotic limit 驴驴1 with m fixed. We also give the tail of the distribution for a fixed 驴m.
