A Generalization of Multiple Choice Balls-into-Bins: Tight Bounds

Abstract: This paper investigates a general version of the multiple choice model called the (k, d)-choice process in which n balls are assigned to n bins. In the process, k < d balls are placed into the k least loaded out of d bins chosen independently and uniformly at random in each of n k rounds. The primary goal is to derive tight bounds on the maximum bin load for (k, d)-choice for any 1 ≤ k < d ≤ n. Our results enable one to choose suitable parameters k and d for which the (k, d)-choice process achieves the optimal… Show more
