Optimal Size-Aware Dispatching Rules via Value Iteration and Some Numerical Investigations

Abstract

This technical report explains how optimal size-aware dispatching policies can be determined numerically using value iteration. It also contains some numerical examples that shed light to the nature of the optimal policies itself. The report complements our ``Towards the Optimal Dynamic Size-aware Dispatching'' article that will appear in Elsevier's Performance Evaluation in 2024.
