Markovian queueing network model for performance evaluation of bus-deficient multiprocessor systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5294413
A Markovian queueing network model is developed for the performance analysis of multiprocessor systems with multiple time-shared-bus interconnection networks. The effect of memory and bus contentions is investigated, and the comparative results from a unibus of a crossbar system are presented. The results show that decreasing the number of busses in a crossbar switch by factor of two produces a negligible degradation on the system performance in most cases. The authors have obtained exact results by devising an algorithmic method to convert the Markov chain of the queueing model to a simple birth-death process. 7 references.
