Stability of Fork-Join Systems with Redundancy and Heterogeneous Servers
We consider the stability problem of fork-join systems with redundancy (FJR) and heterogeneous servers under both static and dynamic capacity-allocation policies. In an $(n,k)$ FJR system, each arriving job is split into $n$ independent tasks, with one task assigned to each of $n$ parallel servers. Once $k \le n$ tasks...
