ABSTRACT:
A method for scheduling when a server provides service to entities. The method includes the steps of identifying when a first entity requests service from the server. Next there is the step of providing service to an entity, such as a first entity or a second entity, as a function of when the entity requests service from the server. A scheduler for controlling when a server provides service to entities. The scheduler includes a memory having times which are a function of when entities request service from the server. The scheduler also includes a virtual clock that keeps track of time as a function of when entities request service from the server. The scheduler also includes a controller which causes an entity to receive service from the server as a function of when the entity requests service from the server. A scheduler for scheduling when N entities each of which has a weight w, where N is an integer .ltoreq.1 and w is a real number, are served by a server.
