The fluid limit of a heavily loaded processor sharing queue
A single server queue with renewal arrivals and i.i.d. service times is considered in which the server operates under a processor sharing service discipline. The authors study a critical fluid model for a heavily loaded processor sharing queue. The fluid model state descriptor is a measure-valued function whose dynamics are governed by a nonlinear integral equation. The critical fluid model can be served as a first order approximation of a heavily loaded processor.
