Fork-join queues characterize a network of parallel servers where an arriving job splits into subtasks, and are serviced in parallel. Exact analytic results are known for the mean response time of a two server system. For more than two parallel servers, approximations for the mean response time of both homogeneous and heterogeneous servers have been found. One such approximation is a split-merge queue,...
