Abstract

This paper presents a large deviation analysis of the steady-state sojourn time distribution in the GI/G/1 PS queue. Logarithmic estimates are obtained under the assumption of the service time distribution having a light tail, thus supplementing recent results for the heavy-tailed setting. Our proof gives insight into the way a large sojourn time occurs, enabling the construction of an (asymptotically efficient) importance sampling algorithm. Finally our results for PS are compared to a number of other service disciplines, such as FCFS, LCFS, and SRPT.
