Eat All You Can in an All-You-Can-Eat Buffet: A Case for Aggressive Resource Usage
From Anita Borg Institute Wiki
Presenter: Ramya Raghavendra (UCSB)
In contrast to a focus on efficiency, we advocate aggressive usage of available resources. This view is embodied in what we call the Buffet principle: continue using more resources as long as the marginal cost can be driven lower than the marginal benefit. We also discuss broadly the considerations in applying the Buffet principle in practice. Finally, we outline the MAC protocol we are building using the Buffet principle.
