 * IPVS:        Shortest Expected Delay scheduling module

 */

/*
 * The SED algorithm attempts to minimize each job's expected delay until
 * completion. The expected delay that the job will experience is
 * (Ci + 1) / Ui if sent to the ith server, in which Ci is the number of
 * jobs on the ith server and Ui is the fixed service rate (weight) of
 * the ith server. The SED algorithm adopts a greedy policy that each does
 * what is in its own best interest, i.e. to join the queue which would
 * minimize its expected delay of completion.
 *
 * See the following paper for more information:
 * A. Weinrib and S. Shenker, Greed is not enough: Adaptive load sharing
 * in large heterogeneous systems. In Proceedings IEEE INFOCOM'88,
 * pages 986-994, 1988.
 *
 * Thanks must go to Marko Buuri <marko@buuri.name> for talking SED to me.
 *
 * The difference between SED and WLC is that SED includes the incoming
 * job in the cost function (the increment of 1). SED may outperform
 * WLC, while scheduling big jobs under larger heterogeneous systems
 * (the server weight varies a lot).
