/*
 * The NQ algorithm adopts a two-speed model. When there is an idle server
 * available, the job will be sent to the idle server, instead of waiting
 * for a fast one. When there is no idle server available, the job will be
 * sent to the server that minimize its expected delay (The Shortest
 * Expected Delay scheduling algorithm).
 *
 * 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 NQ to me.
 *
 * The difference between NQ and SED is that NQ can improve overall
 * system utilization.
