Full Utilization Without Congestion
1 2 3 4 The Push-Pull Network • 2 job streams, 4 steps • Queues at 2 and 4 • Infinite job supply at 1 and 3 • 2 servers Push Pull Pull Push • Control choice based on • No idling, FULL UTILIZATION • Preemptive resume Push Pull Push Pull

Push Pull Push Pull 1 2 3 4 1 2 2,4 3 4 1,3 1,3 Policies Inherently stable TypicalBehavior: Policy: Pull priority (LBFS) Inherently unstable Policy: Linear thresholds Server: “don’t let opposite queue go below threshold” TypicalBehavior:
Similar to KSRS But different

1 2 3 4 Contribution Inherently stable Inherently unstable Linear threshold policies Pull priority policy Results: Assumptions: (A1) SLLN Thm 1: Fluid limit model stability (A2) I.I.D. + technical Thm 2: Positive Harris recurrence Thm 3: Diffusion limit (A3) Second moments
Stochastic Model and Fluid Limit Model Assume (A1), SLLN Fluid limits exists and w.p. 1, satisfy the fluid limit model or
Fluid Stability Definition: A fluid limit model is stable if there exists such that for every fluid solution, whenever then for any . Thm 1: Under assumption (A1), the fluid limit model is stable.
Lyapounov Proof Inherently stable Pull priority policy Inherently unstable Linear threshold policies For every solution of fluid model: • When , it stays at 0. • When , at regular • points of t, .
1 2 3 4 A Markov Process Assume (A2), I.I.D. Queue Residual is strong Markov with state space .
Positive Harris Recurrence Thm 2: Under assumptions (A1) and (A2), the state process is positive Harris recurrent. • Proof follows framework of Jim Dai (1995). • 2 Things to Prove: • Stability of fluid limit model (Thm 1). • Compact sets are petite (minorization).
Diffusion Limit Thm 3: Under assumptions (A1), (A2), (A3), With . 10 dimensional Brownian motion Expressions of are simple, yield asymptotic variance rate of outputs. Proof Outline: Use positive Harris recurrence to show, , simple calculations along with functional CLT for renewal processes yields the result.
Consequences of Diffusion Limit 1) Negative correlation of outputs 2) Diffusion limit does not depend on policy!!!
