Abstract
Multi-resource fair allocation has been a hot topic in cloud computing. Recently, a dynamic dominant resource fairness mechanism (DDRF) is proposed for dynamic multi-resource fair allocation. In this paper, we develop a linear-time algorithm to find a DDRF solution at each step. Moreover, we give the competitive ratios of the DDRF mechanism under three widely used objectives.
