Efficiency analysis of single bus multiprocessor architectures

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5081254
Analytical probabilistic models are developed for the efficiency evaluation of four single-bus multiprocessor architectures. The models are valid for an exponential distribution of active (not in queue or service) times of processors, a general distribution of service times, fixed priority for arbitrary contention on the single bus, and any number m of processors in the system. The results are approximate and have been verified by independent simulation. The accuracy of the models is good and increases with m. The models are given by a set of nonlinear equations, and iterative recursive algorithms for their solution are developed and implemented using Pascal. 10 references.
