Abstract
Credit scheduling is a novel quota-based discipline to schedule a reso urce among several requestors. It is characterized by a dynamic quota which is a function of a requester's waiting time since its last servi ce. The discipline combines characteristics of the processor sharing a nd first-come-first-served disciplines and can provide improved respon se time and fairness characteristics in several environments. We analy ze open and closed system configurations using credit scheduling throu gh simulations and approximate behaviour analysis. The results demonst rate the advantages of the scheme in various applications. (C) 1998 El sevier Science B.V.
