Abstract

A class of schedules in the two customer central server queueing model, consisting of a “CPU” server and m “I/O” servers, is considered. Optimal (maximal CPU utilization) CPU and I/O schedules are obtained. The best CPU schedule depends on the I/O schedule in effect; and is either Longest or Shortest-Expected-Remaining-Processing-Time-First. However, for certain I/O schedules the CPU schedule is immaterial. The best I/O schedule is always to process the (expected) longer CPU customer first.
