Description

Context

Our current scheduler only has a round-robin scheduling policy, which is good for fairness but not for tail latency.

Proposed Solution

Add an additional scheduling policy for FIFO.

Alternative Solutions

We could replace the round-robin scheduler totally with FIFO but having both is useful.
