Distribution-Based Query Scheduling
Summary: Proposes distribution-based scheduling using histograms of likely query runtimes, introducing Shepherd as the scheduler. Across synthetic and TPC workloads, Shepherd beats point-based methods by exploiting execution-time distributions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
