ORDERING SCHEMES FOR NETWORK AND STORAGE I/O REQUESTS FOR MINIMIZING WORKLOAD IDLE TIME AND INTER-WORKLOAD INTERFERENCE

摘要

A method includes receiving, from one or more workloads that are processed by one or more processors, requests to access data over a communication network or on a storage device. An order is defined among the requests, in accordance with a criterion that aims to minimize an overall idle time of the one or more processors in processing the multiple workloads. The requests are served in accordance with the defined order.
