singlequeuemultiserver
Single queue multi-server, often described as a single-queue multi-server system, is a classic queueing structure in which customers form one waiting line that feeds multiple parallel servers. This arrangement is commonly analyzed as models like M/M/c or M/G/c with a first-come, first-served discipline. Key parameters include the arrival rate λ, the service rate μ of each server, and the number of servers c, with system stability requiring ρ = λ/(c μ) < 1.
In an M/M/c FCFS system, performance metrics include the probability that an arriving customer must wait (often
Advantages of a single queue include efficient utilization of all servers through pooling, typically shorter and
