Dynamic overload balancing in server farms

We consider the problem of optimal load balancing in a server farm under overload conditions. A convex penalty minimization problem is studied to optimize queue overflow rates at the servers. We introduce a new class of α-fair penalty functions, and show that the cases of α = 0, 1, ∞ correspond to...
