Classing Queues
- Classing:
- a group of entities are called to the front
of the queue
- entities have fixed classes (1, 2, 3, ...)
- operator calls for a class number
- corresponding entities move to the front of the
queue
- relative order inside class members and among
other entities remains
- examples
- boarding of a plane ("now all passengers of rows
10 - 15")
- routing of network packets ("now all packets of a
given video file")
- loading of a truck ("now all boxes of a given
size")
- Benchmark task:
- reference model + classing (both versions)
- one global operator
- benchmark fixes operator behaviour and assignment of
classes
- problem
- how to change the ordering in a queue dynamically
