Short-lived tasks are prevalent in modern interactive datacenter applications. However, designing schedulers to assign these tasks to workers distributed across the whole datacenter is challenging, because such schedulers need to make decisions at a microsecond scale, achieve high throughput, and minimize the tail response time. Current task schedulers in the literature …
