Abstract
A game-hosting service of a service provider network is configured to dynamically adjust a batching interval used to assign processes to game session requests in batches of processes. The adjustment of the batching interval may be based on a level of contention resulting from operations to assign processes to game session requests. With the batching interval adjusted, the game-hosting service may queue one or more incoming game session requests received during the batching interval, query a data store for available processes after a lapse of the batching interval, assign ones of the available server processes to the game session request(s), and instruct the assigned processes to host corresponding game sessions. Dynamically adjusting the batching interval in this manner allows high volume games to benefit from added throughput, while lower volume games can benefit from quicker latency.
