Query: Adaptive Policies for Scheduling with Reconfiguration Delay: An
  End-to-End Solution for All-Optical Data Centers   All-optical switching networks have been considered a promising candidate for
the next generation data center networks thanks to its scalability in data
bandwidth and power efficiency. However, the bufferless nature and the nonzero
recon- figuration delay of optical switches remain great challenges in
deploying all-optical networks. This paper considers the end-to- end scheduling
for all-optical data center networks with no in- network buffer and nonzero
reconfiguration delay. A framework is proposed to deal with the nonzero
reconfiguration delay. The proposed approach constructs an adaptive variant of
any given scheduling policy. It is shown that if a scheduling policy guarantees
its schedules to have schedule weights close to the MaxWeight schedule (and
thus is throughput optimal in the zero reconfiguration regime), then the
throughput optimality is inherited by its adaptive variant (in any nonzero
reconfiguration delay regime). As a corollary, a class of adaptive variants of
the well known MaxWeight policy is shown to achieve throughput optimality
without prior knowledge of the traffic load. Further- more, through numerical
simulations, the simplest such policy, namely the Adaptive MaxWeight (AMW), is
shown to exhibit better delay performance than all prior work.
