| Abstract | We present a simple and near optimal randomized parallel scheduling algorithm for scheduling packets in routers based on the Switch-Memory-Switch (SMS)architecture, which emulates 'output queuing' by using a collection of small memories within the switch to buffer packets, and which forms the basis of the fastest routers in use today. For a router with N inputs and N outputs, our algorithm computes the schedule in O(log* N) rounds, where a round is a communication of a few bits between input ports and memory together with simple local computation at the inputs and memory. Furthermore, by using an O(log* N) deep pipeline at each input, our algorithm computes the schedule in a constant number of rounds. Our pipelined algorithm is quite simple and achieves optimal (i.e.,constant) throughput with a tiny O(log* N) delay.We show that the total amount of buffer memory required by our algorithm is close to the minimum required. We also show that the number of buffer memories is within an εN additive term of 2N -- 1, for any positive constant ù>0 (and is within an additive term of o(N)for the basic scheduler), where 2N -- 1 is the minimum number of memories needed under adversarial placement of packets. Furthermore we show that the number of extra memories that we use over the minimum of N that is required in the offline version, is within a constant factor of the minimum required by any on-line scheduler, even if that scheduler is allowed to fail occasionally.Our scheduling algorithm is randomized and works with high probability in N. We also prove that it has the 'self-stabilizing' property, i.e., it resumes its normal behavior if occasional lapses occur due to the probabilistic nature of the algorithm. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
