16  * The NQ algorithm adopts a two-speed model. When there is an idle server
17  * available, the job will be sent to the idle server, instead of waiting
18  * for a fast one. When there is no idle server available, the job will be
19  * sent to the server that minimize its expected delay (The Shortest
20  * Expected Delay scheduling algorithm).
21  *
22  * See the following paper for more information:
23  * A. Weinrib and S. Shenker, Greed is not enough: Adaptive load sharing
24  * in large heterogeneous systems. In Proceedings IEEE INFOCOM'88,
25  * pages 986-994, 1988.
26  *
27  * Thanks must go to Marko Buuri <marko@buuri.name> for talking NQ to me.
28  *
29  * The difference between NQ and SED is that NQ can improve overall
30  * system utilization.
