With Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes we show that jobs suffice. That is, while replication is multiplicative, MDS is linear.

Article on MDS coding is better than replication for job completion times, published in Operations Research Letters 49 on 2020-11-19 by Ken R Duffy+1.

In a multi-server system, how can one get better performance than random assignment of jobs to servers if queue-states cannot be queried by the dispatcher?

If queue-states are unknown to a dispatcher, a replication strategy has been proposed where job copies are sent randomly to servers.
